The admission fee at an amusement park is 1.5 dollars for children and 4 dollars for adults. On a certain day, 294 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled 916 dollars.

Answer 1

1.5C + 4A = 916

C + A = 294

1.5C + 1.5A = 1.5(294) = 441 subtract from 1st equation to eliminate one variable

2.5A = 916-441 = 475

A = 475/2.5 = 190 adults

C= 294-190 = 104 children
