Question 1137838
.
<pre>
Let x = # of adult tickets, y = # of  tickets.


From the condition, you have these 2 equations


         x +     y = 108        (1)    (counting tickets)

      35*x +  20*y = 2655       (2)    (counting money)


From equation (1), express  y = 108 - x  and substitute it into equation (2), You will get


      35x + 20*(108-x) = 2655.


Express x and calculate answer


    x = {{{(2655 - 20*108)/(35 - 20)}}} = 33.


Then from equation (1),  y = 108 - 33 = 75.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  33 adults tickets and 75 children tickets.


<U>CHECK</U>.   33*35 + 75*20 = 2655 dollars.   ! Correct !
