Adult tickets is the same as the number of child (age 5-12) tickets. a total of 38 tickets was purchased. what is the total cost of the tickets? explain.

adult ticket is 23

Child is 17

and under 5 = 8$

Since Adult tickets is THE SAME AS the number of child tickets...that means 23 total i think, so only thing I understand is if 8 x 3 equals 24 the answer should be 23 with tax which equals 24.  so 3 children that are under 5

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
