Question

At the city Museum child admission is $6.20 an adult admission is $9.90 on Sunday 142 tickets were sold for a total sales of $1183.80 how much adult tickets were sold that day

Answer 1

82

Explanation:

Set the number of adult tickets sold as x. Then, the number of tickets for children would be 142-x

The total cost of all the tickets would be:

6.2(142 - x) + 9.9(x) = 1183.80

Simplify and solve

3.7x + 880.4 = 1183.8

3.7x = 303.4

x = 82

So, the answer is 82 tickets.
