Question

A movie theater charges 7 for an adult ticket and $4 for child ticket. One day the theater 565 tickets for $2920How many child tickets were sold for the movie that day?

Answer 1

Adult =$7------x

Child=$4-------y

Total Tickets= 565= $2920

7x+4y = 2920

x+y= 565

x=565-y

7(565-y) + 4y= 2920

3955 - 7y +4y= 2920

-3y=2920-3955

y=1035/3= 345

x= 565-345= 220

child= 345
