Can someone pls help! I’m desperate

Tickets to a Broadway show cost $50 for adults and $25 for children. The total receipts for 1710 tickets at one performance were $70,250. How many child tickets were sold?

Answer 1

The number of children tickets sold was 610.

Explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of adults tickets sold

y ----> the number of children tickets sold

we know that

x+y=1710 -----> equation A

50x+25y=70250 ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (1100,610)

therefore

The number of children tickets sold was 610.
