Question

A movie theater charges $6.00 for children's tickets, and $8.75 for adult tickets. If the
movie theater made $1297.50, and there were 175 total tickets sold, how many adults
and how many children attended the movie?

Answer 1

x = tickets used by adults.

(175 - x) 6 + x (8.75) = 1297.50
1050 - 6x + 8.75x = 1297.50
x = 90
y (children) = 175 - 90 = 85
