At the Bronx Zoo, tickets for adults cost $28 and tickets for children cost $13. If 550 tickets are sold on Saturday for a total of $12,700, how many adult tickets were sold and how many children tickets were sold?

Answer:

Let a = number of adult tickets sold

c = number of children's tickets sold

28a + 13c = 12,700---->28a + 13c = 12,700

a + c = 550------->13a + 13c = 7,150

--------------------------

15a = 5,550

a = 370, c = 180

370 adult tickets, 180 children's tickets
