Question

2.

Mega Movies hosted a film premiere on Friday night. They charged $7 for adults and $4 for
children. Ninety-four adults and children attended, and $592 was made in ticket sales. How
many children and how many adults went to the film premiere?

Answer 1

72 adults

22 children

Explanation:

Let c = no. of children

a = no. of adults

Then 4c = total sales for the children and

7a = total sales for the adults

So, a + c = 94 and 7a + 4c = 592

-4a - 4c = -376

3a = 216

a = 72 adults

72 + c = 94

c = 22 children
