Question

2.
Mega Movies hosted a film premiere on Friday night. They charged $7 for adults and $4 for
children. Ninety-four adults and children attended, and $592 was made in ticket sales. How
many children and how many adults went to the film premiere?

Answer 1

Answer:

72 adults

22 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = no. of children

     a = no. of adults

Then 4c = total sales for the children and

         7a = total sales for the adults

So,   a + c = 94      and 7a + 4c = 592  

                                    -4a - 4c = -376

                                      3a = 216

                                        a = 72 adults

        72 + c = 94

                c = 22 children
