Answer:
C = 35 //number of child tickets sold that day
Step-by-step explanation:
Child admission ticket: $6.20
Adult admission ticket: $9.50
Total sales = $1214.50
The statement "Three times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold:" is translated as:
Number of adults tickets = A
Number of child tickets = C
A = 3C
Sale of total tickets = $1214
9.5A + 6.20C = 1214
put NA = 3NC
3C(9.50) + 6.20C = 1214
28.5C + 6.20C = 1214
34.7C = 1214
[tex]C = \frac{1214.5}{34.7}[/tex]
C = 35 //number of child tickets sold that day
