Answer:

x = number of children tickets sold = 82 tickets

y = number of adult tickets sold = 64 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of children tickets sold

y = number of adult tickets sold

x + y = 146 (1)

5.70x + 9.50y = 1075.40 (2)

From (1)

x = 146 - y

Substitute x = 146 - y into (2)

5.70x + 9.50y = 1075.40 (2)

5.70(146 - y) + 9.50y = 1075.40

832.2 - 5.70y + 9.50y = 1075.40

- 5.70y + 9.50y = 1075.40 - 832.2

3.8y = 243.2

y = 243.2/3.8

y = 64

Substitute y = 64 into (1)

x + y = 146

x + 64 = 146

x = 146 - 64

x = 82

x = number of children tickets sold = 82 tickets

y = number of adult tickets sold = 64 tickets
