Admission prices at a football game were $5 for adults and $ 2 for children. The total value of the tickets sold was $2520, and 654 tickets were sold. How many adult

tickets and how many child tickets were sold?

Show all six steps.

404 adult tickets were sold, and 250 child tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that

x is the number of adult tickets sold.

y is the number of child tickets sold.

654 tickets were sold.

This means that

Admission prices at a football game were $5 for adults and $ 2 for children. The total value of the tickets sold was $2520.

This means that

Since

404 adult tickets were sold, and 250 child tickets.

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
