Question

At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.00 and adult admission is $9.50. On Tuesday, 143 tickets were sold for a total sales of $1089.00. How many adult

tickets were sold that day?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x=child number

Let y=adult number

so, x+y=143

and 6x+9.5y=1089

Form x+y=143, we got x=143-y

so, 6x+9.5y=1089

will be 6(143-y) +9.5y=1089

then we got y=66

We are looking for adult ticket were sold, so it is 66 tickets.
