The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults. On a certain day, 252 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled 628.00 dollars.

Question

Your answer is

number of children equals 

number of adults equals 

Answer 1

Let x = number of children and y = number of adults

x + y = 252

1.5x + 4y = 628

y = 252 - x So, 1.5x + 4(252 - x) = 628

Solve for x and y.
