Answer:
98 adult tickets
Explanation:
Part A
Let the number of children's ticket sold = c
Let the number of adult's ticket sold = a
Cost of a children's ticket = $7.75
Cost of an adult's ticket = $10.25
Total income from ticket sales = $1,585.75
An equation to represent this situation is:
[tex]7.75c+10.25a=1585.75[/tex]Part B
If the number of children's ticket sold, c = 75
Then:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7.75c+10.25a=1585.75 \\ 7.75(75)+10.25a=1585.75 \\ 581.25+10.25a=1585.75 \\ 10.25a=1585.75-581.25 \\ 10.25a=1004.50 \\ \frac{10.25a}{10.25}=\frac{1004.50}{10.25} \\ a=98 \end{gathered}[/tex]The number of adult tickets sold by the cinema is 98.
