Calculating Adult Tickets Sold

In a small town, a theater sells tickets for a play. The price for an adult ticket is $12, and the price for a child ticket is $8. On a particular Saturday, the theater sold a total of 80 tickets, earning $920 in ticket sales.

Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold, and y represent the number of child tickets sold. You can set up the following system of equations:

• Equation 1: $$ x + y = 80 $$
• Equation 2: $$ 12x + 8y = 920 $$
