Question

At the city museum, child admission is $6.20 and adult admission is $9.50. On Friday, tickets were sold for a total sales of $1082.00. How many child tickets were sold that day?

Answer 1

98child tickets were sold that day

Step by step Explanation:

Let the number of children= A of the number of adult

Then

6.20C + 9.50A = 1082.0

From the question it was said that four times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold which implies that number of adult was FOUR times the children, then we can say

A= 4C

Then substitute into the above equation

6.20C + 9.50A = 1082.0

6.20C + 9.50(4C) = 1082.0

6.20C + 38C= 1082.0

44.2C =1082.0

C= 24.48

But we know that

A= 4C

A=4* 24.48

A= 97.9

Therefore ,98child tickets were sold that day
