Answer:
<u>375 Adult Tickets.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we can simply set up an equation using variable <em>x </em>in place of the unknown student/adult tickets.
x = # of <u>adult</u> tickets sold
x + 65 = # of <u>student</u> tickets sold.
1) x + x + 65 = 815 (set both ticket amounts equal to the total)
2) 2x + 65 = 815 (added common variables together)
3) 2x = 750 (negated the +65, subtracted it from both sides)
4) x = 375 (divided both sides by 2)
5) 815 - 375 = 440 (subtracted the x from the total number of <u>adult</u> tickets, to recieve the amount of <u>childrens</u>' tickets.
Therefore,
Since there were fewer adult tickets sold (-65), 375 is the number of adult tickets, and 440 is the number of student tickets.
The answer is going to be6/8
Answer:
$7.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Adults = 4, Children = 5, All worth = $15, Total cost = $71, Each child's ticket = $5
To find: How much the adult tickets are
Solution: Use the 5 tickets at $5 to get $25
Add the $15 for concessions to reach $40
25 + 15 = 40
Subtract $40 from the 71 spent to get $31
71 - 40 = 31
Now, divide the 31 by 4 for the number of adults which equals $7.75
31 ÷ 4 = 7.75
So, the cost of the adults' tickets is $7.75
