Question 879305: Museum passes cost $5 for adults and $2 for children. One day the museum sold 1820 passes for $6106. how many of each type or sold

The difference in cost is $3.
1820 passes * $2 = $3640
The difference between all children and actual is $6106 - 3640, or $2466
$2466/$3 = 822 adult passes.
1820 total passes - 822 adult passes = 998 children's passes.
.
Let's check this:
822 adult passes at $5 = $4110
998 children's passes at $2 = $1996
Total, 4110+1996= $6106
Success!
