The number of adult tickets is the same as the number of child (age 5-12) tickets. a total of 38 tickets was purchased. what is the total cost of the tickets? explain. data adult = 23 child, age 5-12 = 17 under 5 = 8

Hey!

STEP 1:

38 ÷ 2 = 19

That means 19 adult tickets were sold and 19 child tickets were sold.

I assume each adult ticket costs $23 and each child ticket costs $17.

STEP 2:

Multiply the cost of the tickets by the amount of tickets:

Adult: 23 × 19 = 437

Child: (5-12): 17 × 19 = 323

STEP 3:

Finally, add the costs of both adult and child tickets together:

437 + 323 = 760

So, the total cost of all the tickets was $760.

Please let me know if this was helpful! :)
