Question

Sold $1475.00 ticket sales adults ticket are $ 10.00 dollars and children are $7.00 how many adults did i sell

Answer 1

THey sold 102 adult tickets and 65 child tickets

 

102 x10 + 65 x 7 = 1020 + 455 = 1475

 

THe problem has to be solved numerically (by guessing)

because we do not know how many tickets were sold altogether.

 

THere are two unknown quantities , the number of adult tickets sold

and the number of child tickets sold. We need to know how many 

were sold altogether or how many more of one were sold than the other.

 

One answer possible answer is  102 adult tickets and 65 child tickets
