Let n be the number of adult tickets sold. Then:
7n+4(83-n)=527
3n=195
n=65 adult tickets sold. ☺☺☺☺
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
adult tickets sold=x
child tickets sold=83-x. One could use x and y, but this way keeps it with one variable
7x+4(83-x)=527
7x+332-4x=527
3x+332=527
3x=195
x=65. If it is not an integer, something is wrong in the problem or the solution.
65 adult tickets@$7=$455 ANSWER
18 child tickets$4=$72
Total is $527.
