Question

At the city museum, child admission is $6.10 and adult admission is $9.90. On Friday, four times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold, for a total sales of $1188.20. How many child tickets were sold that day?​

Answer 1

Answer: 26 child tickets were sold that day.

Explanation:

Let's say the number of child tickets sold is "x".

According to the problem, the number of adult tickets sold is four times the number of child tickets sold. So, the number of adult tickets sold would be 4x.

6.10x + 9.90(4x) = 1188.20

6.10x + 39.60x = 1188.20

45.70x = 1188.20

x = 26
