The theater sells two types of tickets: adult tickets for $15 and
child tickets for $11.
Last night, the theater sold a total of 147 tickets for a total of
$1889. How many adult tickets did the theater sell last night?

Respuesta :

Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=adult tickets and y=child tickets

1) 15x+11y=1889

2) x+y=147

multiply equation 1 by -1/11 on both sides to get:

-(15/11)x-y=-171.73

add new equation with equation 2 to get

-4/11x=-24.73

Isolate x to get:

x=67.99999

Round up to get 68 adult tickets
