Question

Tickets to the movies cost $9.50 for adults and $6.50 for kids. A large group bought 12 tickets and spent a total of $87. How many kid's tickets did the group purchase?

Please include an equation.

Answer 1

9 kids tickets

Explanation:

Let k = no. of kid's tickets

12 - k = no. of adult's tickets

9.50(12 - k) + 6.50k = 87

95(12 - k + 65k = 870

1140- 95k + 65k = 870

- 30k = -270

k = 9 kids

Answer 2
