Answer 2

A total of 35 child tickets were sold that day.

How many child tickets were sold that day?

Given:

• At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.60
• Adult admission is $9.50
• On Friday, twice as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold.
• On Friday, a total sales of $861.00

Find:

• How many child tickets were sold that day.

Solution:

Let us consider that the child ticket is x.

And as it is given that twice as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold.

So, adult ticket = 2x

Now, putting in the given condition, we get;

    x*($5.60)+($9.50)*2x = $861.00

⇒ $5.6x + $19x = $861

⇒ $24.6x = $861

⇒ x = 861/24.6 = 35.

Hence, 35 child tickets were sold that day.
