Using a system of equations, it is found that there were 4,000 children tickets sold.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
For this problem, the variables are given by:
- Variable x: Number of children tickets sold.
- Variable y: Number of adult tickets sold.
The attendance at the amusement park is 5,000 attendees, hence:
x + y = 5000 -> y = 5000 - x.
Considering the cost of parking and that the total money earned by the park is $100,000, we have that:
15x + 40y = 100000
Applying the multiplication of the matrices, these equations are the same that the system gives. Replacing the second equation into the first:
15x + 40(5000 - x) = 100000
25x = 100000
x = 100000/25
x = 4000.
