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.
Carla = 5 years old Jim = 2 years old Peter = 15 years old (Peter was 14 years old one year ago) 5+2=7 7x2=14 (14 is the age from one year ago meaning 15 is the current age) 15-2=13
