If I sale fifty tickets and kids tickets are three dollars and adults tickets are five dollars I got 180 dollars in total how many tickets both adults and kids have in all if I sold fifty tickets

Answer 1

Sold X kids tickets.
Sold (50-X) Adult tickets.

3x + 5(50-X) = $160.
3x + 250-5x = 160
-2x = 160-250 = -90
X = 45 kids Tickets.
50-x = 50-45 = 5 Adult Tickets.

Answer 2

Correction: Total monies should be $180.
Not 160. Recalculate.
