There is a group of tourists going to a museum. The group
consists of several adults and one child. A ticket for an adult
costs 10 dollars and one for a child costs 5 dollars. If the cost of
all tickets came to a total of $125, how many adults are there in
this group?
adults

Answer 1

12 adults

Explanation:

125 - 5 = 120 (this is subtracting the child from the equation)

120 / 10 = 12

Answer 2

12 adults

Explanation:

If a child ticket costs 5 dollars

then 125-5=120

120 divided by 10(the cost of each ticket for an adult)

12

So there are 12 adults
