Question

At the city museum, child admission is
$5.30
and adult admission is
$8.90
. On Saturday, four times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold, for a total sales of
$940.70
. How many child tickets were sold that day?

Answer 1

Gibran,

 

Let c be the number of child tickets sold

Number of adult tickets = 4*c

 

Total sales on Sat. = 5.3*c + 8.9*(4c) = 940.70

40.9 c = 940.70

c = 23

 

So 23 child tickets and 4*23 = 92 adult tickets were sold
