Question

Help please and thank you!:)

A school put on a music program. Adult tickets were sold for $7.50 each, and child tickets were sold for $2.50 each. The school collected $1,945.00 from ticket sales. If a total of 364 tickets were sold, how many were adult tickets and how many were child tickets?

Answer 1

Explanation:

7.50a + 2.50c = 1945

a + c = 364

Use -2.50 for 2nd equation

7.50a + 2.50c = 1945

-2.50a - 2.5oc = -910

5a = 1035

a = 207 adult tickets were sold

207 + c = 1945

c = 1738 child's tickets were sold
