The admission fee at an amusement park is $3.75 for children and $5.00 for adults. 355 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled 1575 dollars. How many children and adults

Answer 1

X+Y = 355

3.75X + 5Y = 1575

3.75X + 5( 355 - X) = 1575

3.75X + 1775 - 5x = 1575

-1.25X = -200

125X = 20000

X = 160

Y = 355 - 160 = 195

160 children and 195 adults
