Question

At the movie theater, child admission is $5.20 and adult admission is $8.50. On Wednesday, 124 tickets were sold for a total sales of $872.50. How many adult tickets were sold that day?

Answer 1

75

Explanation:

assuming that all are children(answer will be adult ticket at the end)

124×5.20=644.8

872.5-644.8=227.7

8.50-5.20=3.30

227.7÷3=75.9=75 tickets(no decimal cause tickets are sold as a whole)
