Juan and Jamal collected $39.00 for tickets to the science museum. Adult tickets cost $7.00, and childrens tickets cost $5.00. How many adults and how many children plan to visit the museum?

Answer 1

2 adult tickets and 5 kid tickets.

2 adult tickets is ($14) + ($25) for 5 kid tickets = $39.

There is maybe a faster way of going about it, other than the guess and check method I used.
