Answer:
562 child tickets were sold
217 adult tickets were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
A festival charges $3 for children admission and $5 for adult admission
At the end of the festival they have sold a total number of 779 tickets for $2771
Let x represent the child ticket
Let y represent the adult ticket
x + y= 779..............equation 1
3x + 5y= 2771..........equation 2
From equation 1
x + y = 779
x= 779 -y
Substitute 779-y for x in equation 2
3x + 5y= 2771
3(779-y) + 5y= 2771
2337 - 3y + 5y= 2771
2337 +2y= 2771
2y= 2771 -2337
2y = 434
y = 434/2
y = 217
Substitute 217 for y in equation 1
x + y= 779
x + 217= 779
x = 779-217
x= 562
Hence 562 child tickets were sold and 217 adult tickets were sold
P is equal to 29. You take the question backwards: 12*3 then subtract 7
