Question

tickets to a carnival are $5 for adults and $3 for children. if 215 people attend and the receipts were $925 , how many tickets were bought for children

Answer 1

Answer:75 children

Step-by-step explanation: Let the number of children will be x, so the number of adults will be 215-x

Making equation: 3x+5(215-x)=925

3x+1075-5x=925

-2x=925-1075

-2x=-150

x=75
