Each child ticket for a ride costs $3, while each adult ticket costs $5. If the ride collected a total of $115, and 33 tickets were sold, how many of each type of ticket were sold? A: 8 child 25 adult B: 17 child 16 adult C: 156 child 41 adult D: 25 child 8 adult

Respuesta :

3 x 25 =75 and then 5 x 8 =40 and you would just add 75 and 40 which is where you would get 115.  So the answer would be D 25 child 8 adult 
Hope this helps! :)
