Question 1099149: Entrance tickets for a carnival are $5 for children and $10 for adults. If one evening 836 tickets were sold with total receipts of $5225, how many children and how many adults entered the carnival? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! C+A=536, this is the number of tickets equation
5C+10A=5225 this is the revenue equation
-5C=5A=-2680
5A=2545
A=509 tickets or $5090
C=27 tickets or $135
They add to $5225
