Question

383 tickets were sold on the opening day of a movie. childrens tickets cost $3 and adult tickets cost $8. total ticket sales were 1694. How many adult tickets were sold?

Answer 1

Explanation:

3c + 8a = 1694

c + a = 383

3c + 8a = 1694

-3c - 3a = -1149

5a = 545

a = 109 adult tickets

c + 109 = 383

c = 274 children tickets
