Question 797742: Adult tickets for a play cost $12 and child tickets cost $4. If there were 27 people at a performance and the theater collected $260 from ticket sales, how many children attended the play? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a=number of adult tickets; c=number of children's tickets.
a+c=27
c=27-a
.
12a + 4(27-a)=260
12a+108-4a=260
8a=152
a=19
c=8
