Question

At the city museum, child admission is $5.10 and adult admission is $9.60. On Monday, twice as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold, for a total sales of $558.90. How many child tickets were sold that day?

Answer 1

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of children's tickets is x, while the amount of adults' tickets is 2x

5.1*x- the amount of money from children

9.6*2x= 19.2x- the amount of money from adults

5.1x+19.2x= 558.9

x=23 - child tickets
