Answer:
The required equation to represent the number of tickets purchased is
8 x + 6 y = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the cost of 1 movie ticket for adult  = $8.00
The cost of each ticket for child = $6.00
Total Money We have to spend on tickets  = $40.00
Now, let us assume the number of tickets booked for adults  = x
And, the number of tickets booked for children   = y
So, the cost of x adult tickets = x ( Cost of 1 adult ticket) = x ($8) = 8 x
And,  the cost of y children  tickets = y ( Cost of 1 children ticket)
                               = y ($6) = 6 y
Now, total cost of tickets = Money spend on (Adult's + children's) Ticket
⇒  8 x + 6 y = $40.00
Hence, equation  to represent the number of adult tickets and the number of children’s tickets than can be purchased with $40.00
8 x + 6 y = 40
