Question

One afternoon the water park sold 525 tickets for a total of $13,545. Child tickets cost $19 each, and adult tickets cost $40 each. How many of each kind of ticket were sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 355 ; a = 170

Step-by-step explanation:

c = children

a = adults

c + a = 525

19c + 40a = 13545

19c + 19a = 9975

19c + 40a = 13545

-21a = - 3570

a = 170

c + 170 = 525

c = 355
