Sagot :

Answer:

B. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the no of adult tickets sold is shown below;

let us assume the number of child ticket be x

And, for adult ticket be y

Now as per the questions

x + y = 100

7.50x + 10y = 812.50

Multiply by 7.50x in equation 1

7.50x + 7.50y = 750

7.50x + 10y = 812.50

-2.50y = -62.50

y = 25

Hence, the number of adult ticket sold is 25
