30% of the tickets sold by the movie theater for the friday night show were children's tickets at $4 each. The rest of the tickets were sold at the full price of $8.50. The movie theater collected $360 just for the children's tickets. How many tickets did they sell in all?
-------------------
Let # of tickets sold be "x":
---
# of children's tickets = 0.3x
# of other tickets = 0.7x
----
Equation:
$4(0.3x) = 360 dollars
1.2x = 360
x = 300 (total # of tickets sold)
