<em>Translate into an algebraic equation:-</em>
<em>The quotient of a number and 5.</em>

✳︎ First, the word "quotient" indicates that we divide.
Here, we have the quotient of a number and 5, so we divide the number by 5; let the number be d.
So the quotient of d and 5 looks as follows:-
Let's call a child's ticket and an adult's ticket
. From this, we can say:
,
since 116 tickets are sold in total.
Now, we are going to need to find another equation (the problem asks us to solve a systems of equations). This time, we are not going to base the equation on ticket quantity, but rather ticket price. We know that an adult's ticket is $17,000, and a child's ticket is thus
.
Given these values, we can say:
,
since each adult ticket costs 17,000 and each child's ticket
costs 12,750, and these costs sum to 1,653,250.
Now, we have two equations:
Let's solve:
- Find
on its own, which will allow us to substitute it into the first equation
- Substitute in
for
- Apply the Distributive Property
- Combine like terms
- Subtract 1972000 from both sides of the equation and multiply both sides by -1
We have now found that 75 child's tickets were sold. Thus,
,
41 adult tickets were sold as well.
In sum, 41 adult tickets were sold along with 75 child tickets.
