Answer 2

There were 920 children and 830 adults.

Explanation:

Let C be the number of children and A be the number of adults. Set up equations. Using the attendance of 1750 people, we can write:

c+a=1750

Using the total money collected of 9860, we can write:

3.50c+8.00a = 9860

Solve by substitution. Using (1), we solve for a to obtain (3): a=1750—c

Substutute (3) to (2) and solve for c:

3.50c + 8.00(1750 — c) = 9860

3.50e+ 14000 — 8.00c = 9860

—4.50e= —4140

c=920

Solve for a using (3):

a=1750 — 920

a=830

So, there were 920 children and 830 adults. (They better have been 6 ft apart)
