775 tickets were sold for a game for a total of 1,187.50. If adults tickets sold for 2.50 and children's tickets sold for 1.00 how many of each kind of ticket were sold

275 adult tickets and 500 children's tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of children's tickets that were sold.

775 tickets were sold for the game. It means that

x + y = 775

If adults tickets sold for 2.50 and children's tickets sold for 1.00 and all the tickets were sold for a total of 1,187.50, it means that

2.5x + y = 1187.5

Substituting x = 775 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.5(775 - y) + y = 1187.5

1937.5 - 2.5y + y = 1187.5

- 2.5y + y = 1187.5 - 1937.5

- 1.5y = - 750

y = - 750/ - 1.5

y = 500

x = 775 - y = 775 - 500

x = 275

step-by-step explanation:

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
