Depending on how x and y are defined.
If x is the number of adult tickets, then 8x would be the cost of the adult tickets
If y is the number of children tickets, then 5.5y would be the cost of the children tickets
so.... , what do you think?
A theater sells adult tickets for $8.00 and children's tickets for $5.50. Sally but some of each kind (not the same number) and paid a total of $78.50. which equation represents this situation.
A) x+y=78.5
B) 13.5x=78.5
C) 13.5xy=78.5
D) 8x+5.5y=78.5
