Question

There is a Saturday performance at a local theater.
A theater charges $9 for an adult ticket and $4 for a child ticket.
All 1020 tickets were sold and $7680 of revenue was brought in.
How many adult tickets were sold?

Answer 1

9x+(1020-x)4 = 7680

Answer 2

Let x tickets sold were of adults, then (1024-x) were of childrens
now, 9x+(1024-x)4 = 7680
above equation is for total money
solve it you will get x=720
hence,no of adult tickets were 720 and no. of child tickets were 300

Answer 3

9x+(1020-x)4 = 7680
9x+4080-4x=7680
5x=3600
x=720
hence,no of adult tickets were 720 and no. of child tickets were 300
