The Smith family went to the theater
to see a movie. Adult tickets cost
$12 and child tickets cost $9. If they
spent $72 total and purchased 7
tickets, how many of each
were purchased

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 adult tickets and 4 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

a + k = 7

a = 7 - k

12a + 9k = 72

12a + 9k = 72

12(7 - k) + 9k = 72

84 - 3k = 72

84 - 3k = 72

3k = 12

k = 4

a = 3
