A county fair sold 1,750 tickets, each of which was either an adult or children's ticket, and earned a total of \$27,000. The fair earned 25\% more from adult tickets than from children's tickets, but sold 25\% fewer adult tickets than children's tickets. How much did a children's ticket cost

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number children tickets = c

Number of adult tickets = 75% of c = 0.75c

c + 0.75c = 1750

1.75c = 1750

   c = 1750/1.75 = 1000

Number of children = 1000

Number of adults = 75% of 1000  = 750

Cost of adult ticket = $ x

Cost of child ticket = 75% of x = 0.75x

Cost of 750 adult ticket = 750x

Cost of 1000 children ticket = 1000 * 0.75x = 750x

750x + 750x = 27000

              1500x = 27000

                      x = 27000/1500

x = $ 18

Cost of adult ticket =  $ 18

Cost of children ticket = 75% of 18 = 0.75 * 18 = $ 13.5

Cost of children's ticket = $ 13.50
