<li>Tickets for a community play cost $2.00 for a child and
$4.00 for an adult. If 200 tickets were sold for a total of
$700, what was the ratio of the number of childrens
tickets sold to the number of adults tickets sold?</li>
</ol>
<p>THANK YOU!!!</p>
<p>x - number of children tickets
y - number of adults tickets</p>
<p>x + y = 200
2x + 4y = 700
x= 200 - y substitute in the second equation
2 (200 - y) + 4y = 700
400 -2y + 4y = 700
400+2y=700
2y=700-400
2y=300
y= 150
x= 50
50 children tickets
150 adults tickets</p>
<p>Thank you springva</p>
