Question

A theatre contains 460 seats and the ticket prices for a recent play were $50 for adults and $28 for children. If the total proceeds were $16,972 for a sold-out matinee,
how many of each type of ticket were sold?
The number of adult tickets was

Answer 1

(C + A = 460)28
28C + 50A = 16,972
28C + 28A = 12,880
Subtract
22A = 4092
A = 186
460 - 186 = 274
There was 186 adult tickets and 274 children tickets
