Alocal sporting event charges $6 for each adult ticket and $3.50 for each child ticket. if the stadium sold a total of 65 adult and children’s tickets for a total of $340, how many adult tickets were sold?

45 adult tickets were sold.

adult tickets = a
childrens tickets = b

a + b = 65
6a + 3.5b = 340

Subtract a from the equation on top to get b = 65 - a
Substitute into the second equation 6a + 3.5(65 - a) = 340
Simplify to make 6a + 227.5 - 3.5a = 340
6a - 3.5a = 340 - 227.5
Combine like terms so that 2.5a = 112.5
Divide both sides by 2.5 to isolate the variable a

Your final answer is a = 45

Cthe residual plot for model 1 has a non random pattern and is a good fit for the data

Dwould be the answer
