Answer:

  • 321 adult tickets
  • 227 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

This sort of problem is easily solved by defining a variable to be the quantity of the higher-value contributor. Here, we can let x represent the number of adult tickets. Then total revenue is ...

  6.50x +3.50(548-x) = 2881

  3x +1918 = 2881 . . . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  3x = 963 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1918

  x = 321 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  548-x = 548 -321 = 227 . . . . . .number of child tickets

321 adult tickets and 227 child tickets were sold.
