Adult tickets for a play cost $19 and child tickets cost $17. If there were 36 people at a performance and the theatre collected $646 from ticket sales, how many children attended the play?

Let a = adults and c = children.

a + c = 36 total attendance, then
a = 36 - c

19a + 17c = $646 total ticket sales

Substitute (36-c) for a in the second equation and solve for c.

I'll let you do the calculations.

C=19

Which expression shows the cost of one adult

admission ticket and 9 thrill ride tickets?

A $15 + (9 × $3)

B $12 + (9 × $3)

C $15 + (9 + $3)

D ($15 × 9) + $3

42

It makes so much sense.

JK, the mint makes cents.
