Question

At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.00 and adult admission is $9.60. On Saturday, 135 tickets were sold for a total sales of $1087.20. How many child

tickets were sold that day?

Answer 1

58 child tickets were sold

Explanation:

If 58 child tickets were sold, then that would mean that 77 adult tickets were sold because they need to add up to 135 total tickets sold.

We can multiply 58 by $6 to get the total sales for just the child tickets which will give us $348.

Next, we can multiply 77 by $9.60 to get the total sales for the adult tickets which will give us $730.20

Then when we have both of our sales for the children tickets and the adult tickets, we can add them together to get a total amount of sales of $1087.20

(sorry if this is confusing but I hope this helped!)
