A school purchased tickets to a show. Tickets for children cost 8 dollars and tickets for adults cost 14 dollars. The school paid 610 dollars for the tickets, and it bought five times as many tickets for children as it did for adults. How many of the tickets were for adults?
if there were x adult tickets, them
14x + 8*5x = 610
x = 610/54
I suspect a typo
As for the 2nd question, I have no idea what it's about. If x2 means x^2, and so on, then I guess both of those are polynomial functions.
X adult tickets.
5x children tickets.
14*x+8*5x = 610
14x+40x = 610
X =
To find out how many tickets were purchased for adults, we need to set up an equation.
Let's assume the number of tickets purchased for adults is 'x'. Given that the school bought five times as many tickets for children as it did for adults, the total number of tickets purchased for children would be 5x.
Since the cost of each adult ticket is $14 and the cost of each child ticket is $8, the equation can be written as:
14x + 8(5x) = 610
Simplifying the equation:
14x + 40x = 610
54x = 610
x = 610/54
x ≈ 11.3
Since the number of tickets must be a whole number, we can conclude that approximately 11 tickets were purchased for adults.
