You can put this solution on YOUR website! Adult tickets for a play cost $11 and child tickets cost $10. If there were 23 people at a performance and the theater collected $246 from ticket sales, how many children attended the play?
--------
Let number of adult tickets be "x"; value of these is 11x dollars
Number of child tickets is "23-x"; value of these is 10(23-x)=230=10x dollars
--------
EQUATION:
11x+230-10x=246
x=16 (number of adult tickets)
23-16=7 (number of child tickets)
