Problema Solution
A movie theater sold 762 tickets. An adult ticket costs $7.00 and a childs ticket costs $4.50. $4959.00 worth of tickets were sold. How many adult tickets were sold and how many child tickets were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
let x be no of adult ticket sold .
and y be the no of child ticket sold
so, x+y = 762
Total cost of adult tickets = 7 * x
Total cost of child tickets = 4.5 * x
and 7x+4.5y = 4959 ,
so , solving these two equations,
x= 612 , y = 150
