Mr. Frankel bought 7 tickets to a puppet show and spent $43. He bought a combination of child tickets for $4
each and adult tickets for $9 each. Which system of equations below will determine the number of adult
tickets, a, and the number of child tickets, c, he bought?


1. a=C-9
9a + 40 =43

2. 9a +4c=43
a+c=7

3. 40 + 40 = 50
a+c=7

4. a+c= 301
a+c=7

Answer 1

Explanation:

2. 9a +4c=43

a+c=7

The total tickets for adults and children = 7 (a+c =7) 7 people in all

price for adult = $9 (9a) Price per child =$4 (4c)

total price =$ 43

9a +7c = 43
