At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.20 and adult admission is $9.00 . On Saturday, 156 tickets were sold for a total sal

We can solve this by using systems of equations.

Let's find our first formula, how much money was made using the tickets.

$5.20x + 9y = 1027.80$

Here x is how many child tickets we sold and y is how many adult tickets we sold. Now that we have defined that, we can make another formula for the total tickets sold!

$x + y = 156$ since we sold 156 tickets that could be any combination of child and adult tickets.

Let's solve this system. I'm going to use <em>substitution</em> so I'm going to take our second formula and subtract both sides by x to get $y = 156 - x$ .
