Question 5004: tickets to a junior high school play cost $1.10 for each adult and $0.40 for each child. if 360 tickets were sold for a total of $282.60, how many tickets of each kind were sold? Answer by NinangS(5) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A = # of adult tickets
S = # of student tickets
1.10A + .40S = 282.60
A + S = 360
A = 360 - S
1.10(360-S)+ .40S = 282.60
396 - 1.10S + .40S = 282.60
-.70S = -113.40
S = 162
A + 162 = 360
A = 198
