Pink Young celebrated her 16th birthday at Old Towne Waterpark. Her

family and friends were invited. When her mother did the final count, 200
people were in attendance. Her mother paid $2,377.40 to celebrate Pink's
big day. Adult tickets cost $13.90 and children tickets cost $10.85. How
many (a) adult tickets were purchased and (b) children tickets were
purchased?
Hint: Let A = adult tickets

Answer 1

85 Adult tickets, 109 Children tickets

Explanation:

2,377.40 divided by $13.90 = 171.0359712 = 171 (rounded)

2,377.40 divided by $10.85 = 219.1152074 = 219 (rounded)

171 divided by 2 = 85

219 divided by 2 = 109

85 A
