3$ pre child 5$ adult totaling 374 tickets sold at the cost of 1524 dollars. how many child and adult tickets were sold

173 children tickets were sold and 201 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of child ticket sold be x

Let the number of adult ticket sold be y

If the total number of ticket sold is 374, hence;

x +y = 374 1

Also if the ticket cost 3$ per child and 5$ per adult with total cost of $1524, this can be expressed as;

3x + 5y = 1524 2

Solve both equations simultaneously

From 1; x = 374 - y ...3

Substitute equation 3 into 2

3(374-y)+5y = 1524

1122-3y+5y = 1524

1122+2y = 1524

2y = 1524 - 1122

2y = 402

y = 402/2

y = 201

Since x = 374-7

x = 374 - 201

x = 173

Hence 173 children tickets were sold and 201 adult tickets were sold
