Answer 2

Answer: 400 adult tickets and 300 children's tickets were sold

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of children's tickets tickets that were sold.

700 tickets were sold for the game. It means that

x + y = 700

If adult tickets sold for $2.00 and children's tickets sold for $1.50 and the total amount for which the tickets were sold $1250, iteans that

2x + 1.5y = 1250- - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 700 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(700 - y) + 1.5y = 1250

1400 - 2y + 1.5y = 1250

- 2y + 1.5y = 1250 - 1400

0.5y = 150

y = 150/0.5

y = 300

x = 700 - y = 700 - 300

x = 400
