Question

John bought some tickets to see his favorite singer. He bought some adult tickets and some children’s tickets, for a total of 12 tickets.The adult tickets cost $14 per ticket, and the children’s tickets cost $6 per ticket. If he spent a total of $160, then how many adult tickets did he buy?

Answer 1

He bought 11 adult tickets.

Explanation:

Adult tickets cost -$14

Children tickets - $6

Total spent - $160

REMEMBER : he bought 12 tickets , so we need to find a combination of 14 times a number and 6 times a number that equals 12 tickets.

14 x 11 = 154

6 x 1 = 6

154 + 6 = 160

11 adult tickets + 1 child ticket = 12 tickets total.
