Question

A park charges $10 for adults and $5 for kids. How many adults tickets and kids
tickets were sold, if a total of 548 tickets were sold for a total of $3750 ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer:

346

Explanation:

Let c = number of kids tickets sold. Then (548 – c) adult tickets were sold. The revenue from kids tickets is $5c, and the total revenue from adult tickets is $10(548 – c). Then,

5c + 10(548 – c) = 3750

5c + 5480 – 10c = 3750

5c = 1730

c = 346.

We can check to make sure that this number is correct:

$5 * 346 tickets + $10 * (548 – 346) tickets = $3750 total revenue

Answer 2

Answer:

ADULT=202

   KIDS=346

Step-by-step explanation:

SUPPOSE ADULT TICKETS = X

                      KIDS TICKETS = X-548

           CHARGES FOR KIDS = 10X

     CHARGES FOR ADULTS = 5(548-X)

                                         

                                      BY QUESTION

       

                 10X+2740-5X=3750

                        5X=3750-2740

                        5X=1010

                         ADULT=202

                             KIDS=548-202=346
