If 110 people attend a concert and tickets for adults cost $3.5 while tickets for children cost $3.25 and total receipts for the concert was $370, how many of each went to the concert?

Answer 1

c+a=110

3.25a+3.5c= 370

3.25a+3.25c=3.25(110)

.25c =370- 357.5=12.5

c=1250/25

=50 children

a=110-50=60 adults

3.5(50)+3.25(60)

=175+195

= 370
