Question

Adult visitors to an amusement park pay $40 for admission, while children are charged $25. Yesterday, a total of 625 people visited the park paying a total of $19,000 for admission. Drag and drop numbers in the boxes to create an equation that models this situation if x = the number of adult admission tickets sold and y = the number of child admission tickets sold yesterday. 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 ____x+____y = 19,000

Answer 1

`40x+25y=19,000`

Explanation:

`x` denotes the number of adult admission tickets sold and
`y` denotes the number of child admission tickets sold.

Cost of an adult admission ticket = $40

Cost of
`x` adult admission tickets = $40
`x`

Cost of a child admission ticket = $25

Cost of
`y` child admission tickets = $25
`y`

Total amount paid by 625 people = $19,000

So,

`40x+25y=19,000`
