A + c = 824 represents number of tickets to sell
20a + 12c = 13,344 represents cost of each type of ticket
multiply equation 1 by -12 to cancel the variable 'c' and solve for 'a'
-12(a + c = 824)
-12a - 12c = - 9888
20a + 12c = 13,344 add equations together
-----------------------------
8a = 3456 divide both sides by 8
a = 432
To find children's tickets substitute adult numbers back into equation 1.
a + c = 824
432 + c = 824
subtract 432 from both sides
c = 392
adult 432, children 392
5 3/5 as an improper fraction is 28/5.
I hope this is helpful! :D
