Question

The number of adult tickets is the same as the number of child tickets. A total if 38 tickets were purchased. Adult $23 sold and child $17 sold. What is the total cost of the tickets? Explain

Answer 1

Children: $17 x 19 = 323
Adult: $23 x 19 = 437
The total cost would be $760

Answer 2

it would be $760 because is there were the same amount of tickets then you would have to divide 38 by 2 and that equals 19. adult tickets cost $23 each, so 23 times 19 equals 437 and child tickets cost $17 so 17 times 19 equals 323. add them together and you get a total of $760.
