Question

At the city museum,child admission is $5.60 and adult admission is $9.60. On Friday , 133 tickets were sold for a total sales of $976.80 how many adult tickets were sold that day

Answer 1

Let a be the number of adult tickets sold and c be the number of child tickets sold.

5.60c + 9.60a = 976.80

c + a = 133

5.60(133 - a) + 9.60a = 976.80

744.80 - 5.60a + 9.60a = 976.80

4a = 232, so a = 58 and c = 75

58 adult tickets, 75 child tickets
