Question

The admission fee at an amusement park is $4.25 for children and $5.40 for adults. On a certain day, 280 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled 1397 dollars. How many children and how many adults were admitted?

number of children equals

number of adults equals

Answer 1

a + c = 280

5.4a + 4.25c = 1397

 

a = 280 - c

5.4(280 - c) + 4.25c = 1397

 

Solve for c, then plug that into a = 280 - c to find a.

 

You got this.
