Answer 1

Answer:

Number of  children's tickets sold  =  150

Number of adult's tickets sold = 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of tickets sold  = 400

Let us assume the number of children's tickets   = m

So, the number of adult's ticket's sold  = 400 - m

Here, the cost of 1 movie ticket for adult  = $8.00

So, the cost of (400 -m) adult tickets = (400 - m) ( Cost of 1 adult ticket)

= (400 - m) ($8) = 3200 - 8 m

The cost of each ticket for child = $5.00

The cost of m children  tickets = m ( Cost of 1 children ticket)

= m($5) = 5 m

Now, total cost of tickets = Money spend on (Adult's + children's) Ticket

⇒ 2750 =  (3200 - 8 m) +  (5 m)

or,  2750 - 3200 = -8 m + 5 m

or, -450 = -3 m

or, m = 450/3 = 150

or, m = 150

Hence, the number of  children's tickets = m = 150

The number of adult's tickets sold =  400 - m = 400 -150 = 250
