Tyler is selling tickets for the school play, and charges dollars for adult tickets and $5 for child tickets. On Monday, he sold 12 child tickets and 9 adult tickets. On Tuesday, he sold 20 child tickets and 4 adult tickets. If Tyler made the same amount of money on both days, find the price for an adult ticket.

qpplebloss:

t dollars

QuestionCoveBot:

$5 for child tickets. He sold 32 child tickets in total. We have to multiply 5 and 32 to figure out how much was made. So whats; \[32\times5=?\]

me?

No, QuestionCoveBot.

qpplebloss:

Ok.

lowkey:

We can assign variables into each ticket cost to form an equation equal to each other (you said Monday and Tuesday they made the same price)

lowkey:

Let’s just pretend, for easy sakes, that the variable c=the pricing of the child tickets a=the pricing of the adult tickets.

lowkey:

We can use these variables to form an equation. Can you give a guess what the equation for Monday will be?
