x the number of Adult tickets
A. The number of tickets for children: (55-x)
B. The amount spent on adults ticket: 40x
C. The amount spend on children ticket 20(55-x)

3. Given the cost of the 55 ticket was 1600 calculate the number of adults tickets bought by the company
1600 = 20x+1100
500 = 20x
500/25 = x = 25, Adult tickets
