The known facts
- the sum of Natalie's age and Fred's age is 36
- the sum of Fred's age times four and Natalie's age is 72
Now, let's set up the equations where N is Natalie's age and F is Fred's age.
N + F = 36 ---- equation 1
N + 4F = 72 ---- equation 2
equation 2 minus equation 1 ---> 3F = 36 ---> F = 12, thus N = 24
Thus Fred is 12 years old, and Natalie is 24 years old.
Adult ticket (a) = $5
Child ticket (c) = $2
785 tickets = $3280
a + c = 785 tickets
5a + 2c = $3280
c = 215 child tickets
a = 570 adult tickets
570 + 215 = 785 tickets
5(570) + 2(215) = $3280
There were 215 child tickets sold on Saturday
