For a Saturday matinee, adult tickets cost $8.50 and kids under 12 pay only $7.00. If 80 tickets are sold for a total
of $605, how many of the tickets were adult tickets and how many were sold to kids under 12?

Answer 1

30 adult tickets and 50 child tickets

Explanation:

605 = 8.5a + 7c

80 = a + c

620 = (8.5*40) + (7*40)

605 = (8.5*30) + (7*50)

a = 30 c = 50
