A family went out to see a movie. The regular ticket costs $9 and the ticket for children is $2 less. They gave the cashier two $20 bills and they received a $1 change. How many children are there if there are 2 adults in the family?
They gave the cashier $20 x 2 = $<<20*2=40>>40.
Since a $1 change was returned, this means the tickets cost $40 - $1 = $<<40-1=39>>39.
Two adult tickets cost $9 x 2 = $<<9*2=18>>18.
So, $39 - $18 = $<<39-18=21>>21 was spent for the children's tickets.
Each child's ticket costs $9 - $2 = $<<9-2=7>>7.
Therefore, there are $21/$7 = <<21/7=3>>3 children.
