Question

Amanda is hosting a school play at Midtown High School. To buy a ticket, she charges

$11 per child and $13 per adult. If there are a total of 214 tickets sold and she earns a
revenue of $2,592, how many adults and how many children attended the play?

Answer 1

119 adults, 95 kids

Explanation:

11x+13y=2592

X+y=214

11x + 13(214-x) = 2592

11x + 2782 -13x = 2592

-2x = -190

X = 95

95 + y = 214

Y= 119
