Question 350664: At the city museum, child admission is $5.40 and adult admission is $8.90 . On Monday, twice as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold, for a total sales of $626.40 . How many child tickets were sold that day?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
Let's have x be the number of children tickets and 2x will be the adults. Now we can set up the following equation:
5.4x+8.9(2x)=626.4
Expand this out:
5.4x+17.8x=626.4
Combine like terms:
23.2x=626.4
Divide both sides by 23.2 to get:
x=27
There we go,
27 children tickets were sold.
Make sense?
