At a school play, childrens tickets cost $3 each and adult tickets cost $7 each. The toral amount earned from ticket sales equals $210.
How many adults tickets were sold if 70 childrens tickets were sold?
210=3C+7A when C=70
The table shows the ticket prices for a school play. Keisha's family buys c child tickets and s senior tickets. They have a coupon for $7 off. Write an expression for the total price of the tickets for Keisha's family.
To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation to represent the given information.
Let's use the variable 'x' to represent the number of adult tickets sold.
We are told that the total number of children's tickets sold is 70. So the number of children's tickets, which cost $3 each, can be represented as 70 * 3 = $<<70*3=210>>210.
The number of adult tickets, which cost $7 each, can be represented as x * 7 = $7x.
Since the total amount earned from ticket sales is $210, we can set up the equation:
210 = 7x + 210
To solve for 'x', we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Subtract 210 from both sides of the equation:
210 - 210 = 7x
0 = 7x
Divide both sides of the equation by 7:
0/7 = x
x = 0
From the equation, we find that x equals 0. However, this doesn't make sense in the context of the problem because we know that some adult tickets were sold. Therefore, there must be an error in the problem or the information provided.
Please check the given information or clarify if there may be any additional details.
70*3 = 210
0 adult tickets were sold
