Question 703838: admission to the circus costs $8 for adults and $6 for children. a total of 900 tickets were sold and total sales are $6160. If A represents adults and C represents children create two equations which model the situation.
Answer by Simnepi(216) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if one adults ticket costs $8, then 2 would cost $(8X2), 3 would cost $(8X3) etc because there A adults then the cost of their tickets is $(8A).
In a similar way the children's tickets would cost $(6C).
the total of these ticket sales comes to $6160 so we can say
8A+6C=6160
we also know that 900 tickets were sold to adults and children, so the second equation is
A+C=900
