You can put this solution on YOUR website! Admissions prices at a high school football game were $6 for adults and $2 for children. The total value of tickets sold was $2528, and 545 tickets were sold. How many adult and how child tickets were sold?
------
Quantity Eq:: a + c = 545 tickets
Value Eq:: 6a +2c = 2528 dollars
--------
Modify for elimination:
a + c = 545
3a+ c = 1264
--------------
Subtract and solve for "a"::
2a = 719
-----
a = 359.5
Note: Your posted numbers lead to the conclusion there are 359.5 adults.
That is highly unlikely.
Cheers,
Stan H.
