Given:
Student ticket price = $7
A group of 4 students and 3 adults paid $64 in all for movie tickets.
To find:
Each of the adult ticket cost.
Solution:
Let x be the cost of each adult ticket.
Then, cost of 3 adult tickets = 3x.
Cost of 1 student ticket = $7
Cost of 4 student ticket = $7(4)
According to the question,
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, the cost of each adult ticket is $12.
Answer: There were 7 children
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use <em>x </em>to represent the children and <em>y </em>to represent the adults.
We know they combine to make a group of 25 people so x+y=25
We also know that they paid $201 and that there is $3 per child and $10 for adults so 3x+10y=201
I will solve by substitution.
Solve for y in the first equation
Sub in our value for y into the other equation and solve for x
Step 1) Simplify
Step 2) Subtract 250 from both sides
Step 3) Divide both sides by -7
