Answer:
Adult tickets =125
Child tickets = 128
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively
So that
x+y= 253--------1
Since total sales/receipt is $2,771
And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence
15x+7y= 2771-------2
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have
x+y= 253---------------1
15x+7y= 2771----------2
Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3
15x+15y=3795---------3
-{15x+7y= 2771----------2
0+8y=1024
8y= 1024
y= 1024/8
y= 128 tickets
So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1
x+ 128=253
x=253-128
x= 125 tickets
