HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

what do you need help with?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

now that you have everyone's attention...what is your question ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

ok....well....this is why nobody is helping

At the city museum, child admission is $ 6.60 and adult admission is $ 9.70 . On Saturday, twice as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold, for a total sales of $ 520.00 . How many child tickets were sold that day?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

lets call the number of child tickets say \(x\) so the number of adult tickets sold is \(2x\) childs bring in \(6.60x\) and adults bring \(9.70\times 2x\) set \[6.60x+2\times 9.70x=520.00\] and solve for \(x\)

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

twice as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold 2c = a childs tickets are 6.60....adult tickets are 9.70...for a total of 520 6.60c + 9.70a = 520 now we will sub in 2c for a 6.60c + 9.70(2c) = 520 6.60c + 19.40c = 520 26c = 520 c = 520/26 c = 20 now sub 20 in for c in the equation 2c = a and solve for adult tickets
