Question 282934: A charity sells tickets for a fund raising dinner. Each adult’s ticket costs $10 and each child’s ticket costs $5. A total of $1050 was raised by selling 130 tickets. How many adult and child tickets were sold.

X adult tickets are sold, 130 - X child tickets are sold
10X + 5(130 - X) = 1050
10X + 650 - 5X = 1050
5X = 400
X = 80
So 80 adult tickets and 50 child tickets are sold
