Tickets to a movie cost $5 for adults and $3 for students. A group of friends purchased 18 tickets for $82.00. How many adults ticket did they buy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

They purchased 14 adult tickets and 4 kids tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

14 x 5 = 70

3x4=12

and then add 70 plus 12 to get 82 dollars.

The number of adults tickets that were sold for the movie will be 14 tickets.

The equation to solve the question will be:

a + s = 18 .......... i

5a + 3s = 82 ......... ii

Form equation i, s = 18 - a

5a + 3s = 82

5a + 3(18 - a) = 82

5a + 54 - 3a = 82

Collect like terms

5a - 3a = 82 - 54

2a = 28.

a = 28/2

a = 14

Therefore, s will be:

s = 18 - a = 18 - 14 = 4

The number of adults ticket is 14
