Answer:
55 tickets for adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by setting up two equations. One equation will be the total amount of money spent and the other is the total amount of tickets sold. a is the # of adult tickets and c is the # of children tickets sold.
7a+4c=469
a+c=76
Now solve for c in the second equation. Then use that to substitute for c in the first equation.
c=76-a
7a+4(76-a)=469
7a+ 304-4a =469
7a+4a=165
3a=165
a=165/3
a=55
