7. The local theatre performed a Saturday matinee to a crowd of 215 people. Tickets cost $11 child and $15 per adult, bringing in a total of $2877. Use an inverse matrix to determine the number of each type of ticket sold .

The total number of child ticket sold  = 87

The total number of adult ticket sold = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -  The local theatre performed a Saturday matinee to a crowd of 215 people. Tickets cost $11 child and $15 per adult, bringing in a total of $2877.

To find - Use an inverse matrix to determine the number of each type of ticket sold .

Proof -

Let the total number of child ticket sold = x

Let the total number of adult ticket sold = y

Given that, The local theatre performed a Saturday matinee to a crowd of 215 people.

⇒x + y = 215

Also,

Given that,  Tickets cost $11 child and $15 per adult, bringing in a total of $2877

⇒11x + 15y = 2877

So,

The equations becomes

x + y = 215

11x + 15y = 2877

So,

The matrix form becomes

By comparing, we get

x = 87

y = 128

So, we get

The total number of child ticket sold = x = 87

The total number of adult ticket sold = y = 128
