A ticket booth sold 486 tickets and collected $2416.50 in ticket sales.Adult tickets are $5.50 and child tickets are $4. How many tickets of each type were sold?
Let the number of adult tickets sold = A
Then number of children tickets sold =486 - A
5.50A + 4*[486 - A] =2416.50
5.50A + 1944 - 4A =2416.50
1.50A =2416.50 - 1944
A = 315 - adult tickets sold
486 - 315 =171 - Children's tickets soldd
