Question

Can someone help me with this plz? Plz show ur work .... A local high school collected $1590 from 321 people who attended a football game. The price of
each adult admission is $6. People between the ages of 4-17 paid a children admission rate of $4. How many adult tickets and child tickets were sold that day?


Please help me with the elimination thing. Thankyou

Answer 1

Please note that your problem, can be modeled by the subsequent algebraic system:
\[\left\{ \begin{gathered}
6A + 4C = 1590 \hfill \\
A + C = 321 \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \right.\]
where A is the cost of each adult ticket, and C is the cost of each children ticket
