Answer:

$760

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of adult ticket is the same as the number of (age 5-12) tickets.

Let the number of adult ticket be x

Number of (age 5-12) tickets be x

Total ticket sold = 38

x + x = 38

2x = 38

x = 19

Cost of each adult ticket = $23

Total cost for 19 such tickets = 23×19

= $437

Cost of each (age 5-12) ticket = $17

Total cost for 19 such tickets = 19×17

= $323

Total cost of 38 tickets = 437 + 323

= $760

Hence, the total cost of tickets is $760
