linda sold 925 tickets for her choirs concert for a total of 6000. if adult tickets sold for 8 and children ticket sold for 6, how many of each kind of ticket did linda sell

Answer 1

a + c = 925

8a + 6c = 6000

2 equations 2 unknowns

solve by substitution elimination or by matrix algebra

below is the former method

6a + 6c = 6(925) = 5550

8a-6a = 6000-5550

2a = 450

a = 450/2 = 225 adults

c = 925-225= 700 children

8(225)+6(700)

1800 + 4200

= 6000
