Question

Linda was selling tickets for the school play. She sold 10 more adult tickets than children tickets and she sold twice as many

senior tickets as children tickets. In total, she sold 220 tickets. Write an equation to could be used to determine the number of
children's tickets sold.

Answer 1

c+10+2c+c=220

Step by step Explanation:

Let, a= number of adult's tickets sold

s= number of senior's tickets sold

c= number of children's tickets sold

a=c+10

and, s=2c

Now, a+ s+ c=220

c+10+2c+c=220

4c=210

c=52.5

Note: If there were 222 tickets the answer will be 53
