A group consisting of 10 children an adult went to a movie theater children tickets cost 5 each and adults tickets cost 8 each and the total cost for 10 people was 62.how much children were in the group

9514 1404 393

  6 children

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of the group were adults, the total cost of tickets would be 8×$10 = $80. The actual cost was $80 -62 = $18 less than that. Since each children's ticket saves $3 off the cost of an adult ticket, there were $18/$3 = 6 children's tickets.

There were 6 children in the group.

If you want an equation, you can let c represent the number of children. Then the cost of tickets is ...

  8(10 -c) +5c = 62 . . . . 10-c is the number of adults

  -3c = -18 . . . . . . . subtract 80

  c = -18/-3 = 6 . . . divide by 3
