Question

Adult tickets to a play cost $24. Tickets for children cost $18. Tickets for a group of 13 people cost $282. Write and solve a system of equations to find how many children and how many adults were in the group.

Answer 1

Let number of Adult ticket be x
and number of Child ticket be y
so
$282 = $24x + $18y.

Answer 2

24x + 18y = $282

x = 8
y = 5

Hope this helps.
