Answer:
167 adult tickets were sold
35 children tickets were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of adult tickets be x
Let the number of children tickets be y
Total number of each ticket sold;
x + y = 202 equation 1
Total cost of the tickets
10x + 6y = 1708 equation 2
Let
x= 202 - y equation 3
Substitute 3 into 2
10(202 - y) + y = 1708
2020 - 10y + y = 1708
-9y = 1708 - 2020
-9y = -312
y= 35
Substitute y =35 into 1
x + 35 =202
x= 202 - 35
x= 167
Therefore;
167 adult tickets were sold
35 children tickets were sold
