At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.30 and adult admission is $9.60 . on saturday, twice as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold, for a total sales of $535.50 . how many child tickets were sold that day?

Let's assume

number of child tickets sold on saturday is x

number of adult tickets sold on saturday is y

On saturday, twice as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold

so, we get

child admission is $6.30 and adult admission is $9.60

a total sales of $535.50

we get

now, we can plug y=2x

now, we can solve for x

now, we can find y

so,

number of child tickets sold on saturday is 21

number of adult tickets sold on saturday is 42.........Answer

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.
