Tickets for an event cost $5 for children and $10 for adults. the total ticket sales were $2060. there were 50 more adult tickets sold than child tickets. how many of each ticket were sold?

Let the number of child tickets sold be x

Number of child tickets = x

Number of adult tickets = x + 50

Total cost of child tickets = 5x

Total cost of adult tickets = 10 (x + 50)

5x + 10 (x + 50) = 2060

5x + 10x + 500 = 2060

15x + 500 = 2060

15x = 2060 - 500

15x = 1560

x = 104

Number of child tickets sold = 104

Number of adult tickets sold = 104 + 50 = 154
