Question

At the city museum, child admission is $5.20 and adult admission is $8.80 . On Monday, four times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold, for a total sales of $1090.80 . How many child tickets were sold that day?

Answer 1

27 total child tickets sold

Explanation:

Price of child ticket = $5.20

Price of adult admission = $8.80

Now according to given condition of the day of Monday

Let no of child tickets sold are = x

then

total no of adult tickets sold are =4 x

Total sales = $ 1090.80

Now according to given

we know that

sales of child tickets + sales of adults tickets = total sales

Putting in the values

x * (5.20) + (4x)*(8.80) = 1090.80

5.20 x + 35.2 x = 1090.80

40.4 x = 1090.80

Dividing both sides by 40.4

`(40.4x)/(40.4)=(1090.80)/(40.4)`

x= 27

So total no of child tickets sold are 27
