According to the characteristics of ticket sales and the resulting system of linear equations we find that 122 children bought each one a ticket on Sunday.
In this question we have a word problem, whose information must be translated into algebraic expressions to find a solution. Let be x and y the number of children and adults that went to the movie theatre, respectively.
We need two linear equations, one for the number of people assisting to the theatre and another for the total sales:
x - 4 · y = 0 (1)
6.30 · x + 9.50 · y = 1063.20 (2)
By algebraic procedures the solution to this system is: x = 122.559, y = 30.639. Since the number of tickets sold are integers, then we truncate each result: x = 122, y = 30.
According to the characteristics of ticket sales and the resulting system of linear equations we find that 122 children bought each one a ticket on Sunday.
