Tickets for a dance recital cost $16 for adults and $12 for children. The dance company sold 340 tickets, and the total
receipts were $4,800. How many adult tickets and how many child tickets were sold?

Answer 1

adult tickets: 180

child tickets: 160

Explanation:

adult tickets =x

child tickets =y

1. create a function

x+y=340

16x + 12y = 4800

2. solve

3. x = 180, y = 160 which also means 180 adult tickets were sold and 160 child tickets were sold
