Question 122190: Adult tickets for a play cost $18 and child tickets cost $14. If there were 26 people at a performance and the theater collected $396 from ticket sales, how many children attended the play? Answer by oscargut(2103) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A= number of adults
C= number of children
then A+C=26 and
18A+14C=396
C=26-A then 18A+14(26-A)=396 then 4A+364=396 then 4A=32 then A=8 1nd C=18
