Harper Chung · Answer 1

adult tickets=20

child tickets = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

11*20=220

6*40=240

240+220=460

i plugged in 11*20 and got how much it was it looked like a reasonable number so i subtracted 20 from 60 leaving me with 40 tickets for the kids and when multiplying 6 by 40 and 11 by 20 u add what it equals and there is your answer
