A group of people bought movies tickets at the AMC Century City. They bought a total of 7 tickets, some
adult and some kid tickets. They spent a total of $72. If adult tickets cost $12 and kid tickets cost $9, how
much of each were purchased?

Respuesta :

Hello!, 

First you would divide 72 by 12 which would be....6 okay 6 adults.

Second you would divide 72 by 9 witch is...... 8 kids

6 adults 8 kids

You would just plug in numbers until you find two the work in the equation:

12x+9y=72

x=3 y=4

The correct answer is 3 adult tickets and 4 child tickets.
