Question

The baseball team sold $1,340 in tickets one Saturday.

The number of $12 adult tickets was 15 more than twice the
number of $5 child tickets. How many of each were sold?

Answer 1

child = 40

adult = 95

Explanation:

let c be child's ticket

let a be adult ticket

child = $5

adult =$12

a=2c+15

5c+12a=$1349

5c+12(2c+15)=$1340

5c+24c+180=1340

c=40

a=2×40+15

=95
