Number of child tickets bought is 20

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that It cost 5 dollars for a child ticket and 8 dollars for a adult ticket

cost of each child ticket = 5 dollars

cost of each adult ticket = 8 dollars

Let "c" be the number of child tickets bought

Let "a" be the number of adult tickets bought

Total tickets sold were 110 bringing in 820 dollars

<em>Number of child tickets bought + number of adult tickets bought = 110</em>

c + a = 110 ----- eqn 1

<em><u>Also we can frame a equation as:</u></em>

Number of child tickets bought x cost of each child ticket + number of adult tickets bought x cost of each adult ticket = 820

c \times 5 + a \times 8 = 820

5c + 8a = 820 -------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "c" and "a"

From eqn 1,

a = 110 - c  ------ eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

5c + 8(110 - c) = 820

5c + 880 - 8c = 820

-3c = - 60

c = 20

Therefore from eqn 3,

a = 110 - 20 = 90

a = 90

Therefore number of child tickets bought is 20

Reuben​ says, "two days ago i was 20 years old. later next​ year, i will be 23 years​ old." how is this​ possible?
Aneli [31]
Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.

x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.

Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.

x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22


Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.
