Question

A local theater is showing an animated movie. They charge $5 per ticket for a child and $12 per ticket for an adult. They sell a total of 342 tickets and make a total of $2550. We want a try to find out how many of each type of ticket they sold. Let c represent the number of children's tickets sold and a represent the number of adult tickets sold

Answer 1

This can be solve by generating two equation
First equation for the number of ticket sold
a + c = 342
2nd equation for the total amount of money
12a + 5c = 2550
Solving the two equations simultaneously
a = 120 adult tickets
c = 222 children tickets
