How many tickets?

Question

They sold 1334 total tickets. They sold 80 more adult tickets than children's tickets. How many of each type of ticket were sold?

Answer 1

c = children tickets

c + 80 = adult tickets

 

c + c+80 = 1334

2c +80=1334

Subtract 80 from both sides

2c=1254

Divide both sides by 2

c = 627

 

So 627 children and 707 adult tickets were sold.
