asked • 01/10/19At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.10 and adult admission is $9.20. On Thursday, four times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold, for a total sales of $1544.40. How many child tickets were sold that day?
Can someone help me with this, please?
Let C = # child's tickets and A = # of adults
A = 4C
6.1C + 9.2A = 1544.4
Substitute
6,1C + 9.2*4C = 1544.4
42.9C=1544.4
You do the arithmetic to solve this last equation.
