A sports team sold 560 adult and child tickets to a recent game. Adult tickets cost $25.50 and child tickets cost $8.30. The team collected $10,066 from ticket sales.

Answer 1

C + A = 560

8.3C + 25.5A = 10066

8.3C + 8.3A = 8.3(560)= 4648

17.2A = 10066 - 4648 = 5418

A = 5418/17.2 = 315 adult tickets sold

C = 245 children's tickets sold

8.3(245) + 25.5(315) = 2033.5 + 8032.5 = 1066
