A movie theater manager wants to know how many adults and how many children pay admission to a particular movie. The theater charges $10.00 for adult tickets and $5.00 for child tickets. At a showing where 210 tickets were sold the theater collected $1,355.00. Write a system of equations and determine the number of adult tickets sold and the number of child tickets sold.

Question

Could you please show the work on how to do this?

Answer 1

Let
A = the number of adult tickets
C = the number of children tickets
Then,
A + C = 210 and
10A + 5C = 1355
Can you take it from here?
