Question 828207
A theater sold 600 tickets amounting to Rs. 55000 in one show. The tickets were sold to adults for Rs.100 and the children for Rs. 50 each. How many adults and children attended the show?
-------
Equations:
Quantity: a + c = 600 tickets
Value:  100a+50c = 55000
-------------
Modify:
a  + c = 600
2a + c = 1100
Subtract and solve for "a"
a = 500 (# of adult tickets sold)
-----
Solve for "c":
a + c = 600
500 + c = 600
c = 100 (# of child tickets sold)
