At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.60 and adult admission is $8.80. On Saturday, 146 tickets were sold for a total sales of $1067.20. How many adult tickets were sold that day?

68 adult tickets were sold and 78 child tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

a + c = 146 where a is the number of adults tickets sold and c is the numbe rof child tickers sold.

5.60 a+ 8.80c= 1067.20

    a    + c = 146

5.60a  + 8.80c = 1067.20 solve by elimination.

a=68

c =78

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
