Question 92817: Adult tickets for a play cost $20 and child tickets cost $16. If there were 27 people at a performance and the theater collected $646 from ticket sales, how many adults and how many children attended the play? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This problem has no solution!
Why?
Because, if all 27 attendees were adults (at $20 each), the maximum that could be collected for ticket sales would be 27($20) = $540, but the problem states that $646 were collected from ticket sales.
Where did the extra $106 ($646 - $540) come from?
