Question

Can someone help me with this??
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

Is this from a test? :O

Answer 2

Let x no. of adult tickets and y no. child tickets were sold.
Since adult ticket cost $2.80 each and children's ticket cost $1.80 each,
Total collection = 2.80x+1.80y
2.80x+1.80y=71.80

Also,
Since 36 movie tickets were sold,
x+y=36
