At the city museum, child admission is $ 5.30 and adult admission is $ 9.40 . On Sunday, three times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold, for a total sales of $ 1206.00 . How many child tickets were sold that day?

36 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

At a city museum, child tickets are sold for $5.30, and adult tickets are sold for $9.40

The total sales that were made are $1206

Let x represent the number of child tickets that were sold

Let y represent the number of adult tickets that was sold

5.30x +9.40y= 1206

The number of adult tickets sold was three times greater than the child tickets

y= 3x

Substitute 3x for y in the equation

5.30x + 9.40y= 1206

5.30x + 9.40(3x)= 1206

5.30x + 28.2x= 1206

33.5x= 1206

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 33.5

33.5x/33.5= 1206/33.5

x = 36

Hence the number of child tickets that were sold that day is 36 tickets
