in a show adult ticket is sold at 1 $ each ticket, and child ticket
costs 75 cents total 140 tickets have
been sold and 150 $ earned, tell how
many each tickets sold? Solve
--------
Quantity Equation:: a + c = 140 tickets
Value Equatiion::: 1*a+0.75c = 150 dollars
Note: These equations result in a negative
value for the number of child tickets sold.
-----------------------------------------------
Note: You cannot have earned $150 by selling
140 tickets when no ticket costs more than $1.
