Answer 1

to find maximum wage of number equality of boy adult and child.

I mean: 48 = 6.8

12 person from here

2 person remain

6 $ remain as well

6 = 2 child ticket

so the answer is 6

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let x be the number of adult tickets Travis bought, and y be the number of children tickets he bought.

We know that Travis bought a total of 14 tickets, so x + y = 14.

We also know that the total cost of the tickets was $54, so 5x + 3y = 54.

We can use the first equation to solve for y in terms of x: y = 14 - x.

Substituting this into the second equation, we get:

5x + 3(14 - x) = 54

Simplifying and solving for x, we get:

5x + 42 - 3x = 54

2x + 42 = 54

2x = 12

x = 6

Therefore, Travis bought 6 adult tickets and 14 - 6 = 8 children tickets.
