Tickets to the circus cost $3 for children and $5 for adults. There was 3 times as many children tickets sold as an adult. All together the circus made $700. How many children and how many adults bought tickets to the circus?

150 children and 50 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the amount of children tickets C, and the amount of adults tickets T. Then, we formulate the following equations:

3*C + 5*A = 700 (Total earned by the circus)

C = 3*A (3 times more children tickets)

Using the value of C from the second equation in the first equation, we have:

3*(3*A) + 5*A = 700

14*A = 700

A = 50

Now, we find the value of C using the second equation:

C = 3*A = 3*50 = 150

So, the number of children tickets is 150 and the number of adults tickets is 50.
