Question

The Family Fine Arts Center charges $ 22 per adult and $ 14 per child under 12

Answer 1

Answer:

197 adult tickets and 354 child tickets were sold for the event.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Family Fine Arts Center charges $ 22 per adult and $ 14 per child under 12 years old for its performances, and on a recent weekend evening when 551 people paid admission, the total receipts were $ 9290, to determine how many who paid were children under 12 years old the following calculation must be performed:

22 - 14 = 8

551 x 14 = 7.714

9,290 - 7,714 = 1,576

1,576 / 8 = 197

551 - 197 = 354

197 x 22 + 354 x 14 = X

4.334 + 4.956 = X

Therefore, 197 adult tickets and 354 child tickets were sold for the event.
