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.

50 adults 150 children. that is an easy one you can do in your head.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 5x = number of adults who bought tickets

Let 3 * 3x = number of children who bought tickets.

5X + 3 (3X) = 700

14X = 700

X = 50 adults

3 * 50 = 150 children

50 * $5 + 150 * $3 = $ 700
