Question 1176242: T-shirts at the circus cost $5.00 for children and $10.00 for
adults. If 300 t shirts were sold for a total of
$2000, how many children and how many adults
bought t shirts?
Let c = children shirts and a = adult shirts. What equation
is the QUANTITY AND COST OF SHIRTS SOLD equation?(would the equation be c+a=300 for quantity and 5c+10a=2000 for cost?)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes, it would
so -5c-5a=-1500
5x+10a=2000
5a=500
a=100 adult shirts ($1000)
c=200 child shirts ($1000)
It checks, so you know your approach was correct.
