Answer 1

Answer:

Let the no. Of tickets bought by adult be x

And no. Of tickets bought by child be (720-x)

ATQ

100x+50(720-x)=48500

100x+36000-50x=48500

50x=48500-36000

X=12500/50

X=250

Therefore, adult tickets sold =x=250

And child tickets =(720-250)=470

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps.....

Answer 2

Answer:

let x be the adult tickets and y be the child tickets

given:

x+y=720 eq(1)

100x+50y=48500 eq(2)

eq(1) * 50 gives 50x+50y=36000

eq (2). gives 100x+50y=48500

subtract. -50x= -12500

x=12500/50= 250

from eq(1) y=720-250=470
