Tickets for a concert cost $2 each for children and $5 each for adults. A group of 30 people, consisting of children and adults, paid a total of $87 for the concert. How many adults were in the group?

Let, the no. of adults be "x" then, the no. of childern = total people - total adults = (30 - x) Now, According to the quesiton, 2 (30 - x) + 5x = 87 60 - 2x + 5x = 87 60 + 3x = 87 3x = 87 - 60 3x = 27 x = 27 / 3 x = 9 **
** So, there were 9 adults in the group

There are 9 adults in the group, as determined by setting up an equation based on the total number of people and the cost of tickets. Checking the math confirms that this answer matches the total cost paid for the tickets. Therefore, the solution is accurate and complete.
