Answer:
23 child tickets were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the information given, we can set up an equation to solve for the number of child tickets sold. Since there were three times as many adult tickets as child tickets sold, we can assign the variable 'x' to represent the number of child tickets and '3x' to represent the number of adult tickets. Since we know the cost of each ticket, as well as the total sales, we can set up the following equation:
5.20x + 9.70(3x) = 788.90
Simplify 5.20x + 29.1x = 788.90
Combine like terms: 34.3x = 788.90
Divide both sides by 34.3: x = 23 child tickets
Based on the given conditions, formulate: 5/35
Simplify by dividing by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5: 1/7
Therefore the scale of the drawing is 1/7
You find the slope of the line by using the formula 
where x1 and y1 is the first point, and x2 and y2 are the second point.
