Question

A group consisting of 10 children and adults went to a movie theater. Children's tickets cost $5 each and adults' tickets cost $8 each, and the total cost for the 10 people was $62. How many children were in the group?

Answer 1

There are 6 children in the group and 4 adults

Explanation:

Because the adult ticket cost $8, so there are 4 adults and a total of $32 for adults.

Then I took 62-32=$30

$30 (total for children price) / $5 (the children's tickets) = 6 children

Answer 2

The answer should be 6 children.
