At a movie theater, tickets for children cost $8 each and adult tickets cost $8.75 each. Of ticket sales for a group of 35 people totaled $259, how many children were in this group?

The results don't make sense

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

"x" is the number of children's tickets

"y" is the number of adult tickets

Thus:

8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259

 x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y

replacing we have:

 8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259

280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259

 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280

0.75 * y = -21

y = -21 / 0.75

y = -28

Thus:

x = 35 - (-28) = 63

With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.

the median here is 25. your lowest value is 14 and highest value is 48. to find the third quartile, find the medium number in between 25 and 48 which would be 42 i believe.

it would take 5 hours i think idk i'm not that good at math.can you me with my questions i need asap.
