Question 707704
    Admission to an amusement park is 8 dollars for adults and 5 dollars for children.if 201 was paid for 33 tickets, how many of each were purchased
.
Let x = number of adult tickets
then
33-x = number of children tickets
.
8x + 5(33-x) = 201
8x + 165-5x = 201
3x + 165 = 201
3x = 36
x = 12 (adult tickets)
.
Children's tickets:
33-x = 33-12 = 21
