Answer:
8 student tickets and 6 adult tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
We know Mika paid $68, and we know he bought 14 movie tickets.
We also know the cost for both adult and student tickets. To find how many of each he bought, we can write the following equation:
6a + 4s = 68
(a means amount of adult tickets and s means amount of student tickets)
Since we don't know the amount of either adult or student tickets, we can guess the values and plug them into the equation.
Let's try 10 student tickets and 4 adult tickets
6(4) + 4(10) = 64
Okay, the total value isn't 64, but it's close. Let's try something close to that.
Let's try 8 student tickets and 6 adult tickets
6(6) + 4(8) = 68
We used guessing and a bit of logic to get the answer
