Question

I don't get what there asking.

Answer 1

86 adults and 270 children

Explanation:

Let x = # of adult tickets;

then the number of children tickets is (356-x).

Write the total money equation (revenue equation)

`1.75*(356-x) + 2.25x = 666` dollars.

From the equation

`x = (666-1.75*356)/(2.25-1.75) = 86`

ANSWER. 86 adults and 356-86 = 270 children.

CHECK.

`86*2.25 + 270*1.75 = 666` dollars. ! Correct !
