The Maplewood Symphony Orchestra sold 146 tickets and
collected a total of $1036 in ticket sales. Admission was $5 for
children, x, and $8 for adults, y. How many children
tickets were sold?
This is a system of equations. I solved for y, the amount of adult tickets sold which equals 102. To get the amount of children's tickets, subtract 102 from 146 to get 44.
