You can work these in your head if you consider the revenue generated by the least contributor (children's tickets) and the difference in revenue between that and the larger contributor ($2.00 -1.50 = 0.50).
If all were children's tickets, the revenue would be 500*$1.50 = $750.00. The actual revenue exceeded that amount by $862.50 -750.00 = 112.50. This difference in revenue is made up by the sale of $112.50/$0.50 = 225 adult tickets. Then the number of children's tickets is 500 -225 = 275.
225 adult tickets were sold
275 children's tickets were sold.
_____
If you need an equation, you can write an equation using a variable for the number of adult tickets sold (the largest contributor).
.. (500 -a)*1.50 +a*2.00 = 862.50
.. 0.50a = (862.50 -750.00) . . . . . does this look familiar, yet?
.. a = 112.50/0.50 = 225

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d be the cost of a drink. The expression for the cost of the pizza and 4 drinks is
12.75 + 4d
If each drink costs $3, then
12.75 + 4(3) simpifies to
12.75 + 12 which equals 24.75
Answer:
87 total hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation 456/12 Gives you how many hours Sienna worked. (38)
642-480 will give you how much money Serena made off of Just OT (162)
162/18 = 9 (9 is how many overtime hours Serena worked.)
Serena worked her normal 40 hours, then worked over time, so you have to add 40 to the equation.
9+40+38 = 87
Serena and Sienna worked 87 total hours.
