The MTC Theater holds 250 people, and last night's performance sold out! Children's tickets were $2.50 per ticket, while adults paid $4.00 per ticket. Last nights show brought in $910. Write an equation or system of equations to find out how many children and how many adult tickets were sold.

60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of adult tickets sold be 'a'

Let the no. of children tickets sold be 'c'

Total tickets sold = 250

Cost of 1 children ticket = $2.5

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $4

Total money collected= $910

Given that,

a + c = 250

a = 250 - c

4a + 2.5c = 910

Substitute a value

4(250 - c) + 2.5c = 910

1000 - 4c + 2.5c = 910

1000 - 1.5c = 910

-1. 5c = -90

1.5c = 90

c = 90/1.5

c = 60

a + c = 250

a + 60 = 250

a = 190

60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.

quit

step-by-step explanation:

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
