Last Tuesday, a total of $1600.00 was collected from movie watchers. How many of each type of ticket were sold? (Let x represent the number of adults' tickets and y represent the number of children's tickets.)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! adult tickets = x
child tickets = y
x=2y......................1
adult ticket $15
child ticket = $10
15x+10y=1600
plug value of x
15*2y+10y=1600
30y+10y=1600
