Question 1149478: If 74 people attend a concert and tickets for adults cost $3.25 while tickets for children cost $1.75 and total receipts for the concert was $191, how many of each went to the concert?
Let x be the number adults; then the number of children is (74-x).
The "money" equation is
3.25*x + 1.75*(74-x) = 191 dollars.
From this equation, express x and calculate
x = = 41.
ANSWER. 41 adult and (74-41) = 33 children.
CHECK. 41*3.25 + 33*1.75 = 191 dollar. ! Precisely correct !
