at a movie theater a cashier sold 250 more adult admission tickets than children admission tickets. The adults were $6.00 each and the childrens tickets were $3.50 each. what is the least number of adult tickets that the cashier has to sell for the total receipts of $2750?
Let a = # of adult tickets sold Let c = # of children's tickets sold 250 + c = a c + 250 + c = 2c + 250 = 2750 2c = 2500 c = 1250 a = 1250 + 250 = 1500 Least number of adult tickets that the cashier needs to sell for the receipts to be $2750 is 1500.
