Question

the local theater is showing a matinee and offering a special deal for the community. A ticket for an adult cost $11 and a ticket for a child cost $6. the theater sells a total of 60 tickets. and collects $460. how many adult tickets (x) and children tickets (y) are sold?

Answer 1

adult tickets=20

child tickets= 40

Explanation:

11*20=220

6*40=240

240+220=460

i plugged in 11*20 and got how much it was it looked like a reasonable number so i subtracted 20 from 60 leaving me with 40 tickets for the kids and when multiplying 6 by 40 and 11 by 20 u add what it equals and there is your answer
