Question

Angelo took a group of people to the movies and spent $80 on tickets. Adult tickets cost $10 and child tickets cost $6. The equation to represent his cost is 10A + 6C = $80. If there were 5 children in the group, how many adult tickets did he purchase? Show your work and use a complete sentence to explain your solution in the context of the original problem.

Answer 1

we don't know A

10A + 6C = 80 , number of children = 5

10A + 6*5 = 80

solve the equation for number of adults

Answer 2

10A + 6*5 =80
10A +30=80
-30 -30
10A = 50
/10 /10
A=5 So... 5 adults? @JOELMATHEWS1234
