Question 165451
Adult tickets for a play cost $9 and child tickets cost $3. If there were 24 people at a performance and the theater collected $186 from ticket sales, how many children attended?
-------------------
EQUATION:
value + value = 186
9a + 3(24-a) = 186
9a + 72 - 3a = 186
6a = 114
a = 19 (# of adult tickets sold)
24-19 = 5 (# of child tickets sold)
