Question 885602: Angelo took a group of people to the movies and spent $80 on tickets. Adult tickets cost $10, and child tickets cost $6. The equation to represent his cost is 10A + 6C = $80. If there were 5 children in the group, how many adult tickets did he purchase? Show your work and use a complete sentence to explain your solution in the context of the original problem.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The no. of children is given as 5, hence the variable C can be replaced by 5 i.e plugging in C=5 in this equation 10 A + 6 C = 80, we get
10 A + 6*5=80
10A=50
A=5
Hence, 5 adult tickets were purchased.
