Question

Translate the problem situation to a system of equations. Do not solve. Bill & Jose's Discount Cinema sold adult tickets for $2.80 each and children's tickets for $1.80 each. Last Tuesday, a total of $71.80 was collected from 36 movie watchers. How many of each type were sold?

A. x - y = 36; 2.80x + 1.80y = $71.80

B. x + y = 71.80; 2.80x + 1.80y = $36

C. x + y = 36; 2.80x + 1.80y = $71.80

D. x + y = 4.60; 2.80x + 1.80y = $71.80

Answer 1

Let x be the number of adult tickets sold
Let y be the number of children's tickets sold

If 36 total tickets were sold, that means x+y=36

The total money collected was 71.80 from all the tickets sold:
2.80x+1.80y= $71.80
