Question

At a museum, the admission price for children is $9 and the admission price for adults is $16. The total amount the museum collects in admissions for the day is $4650. The total number of visitors is 330. Let x be the number of children and let y be the number of adults. Which system represents the situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

x + y = 330

9x + 16y = 4650

Explanation:

Given that x = children and y = adults, we can say that x + y = 330.

Since the total amount of money collect from both children and adults was $4650, we can say that 9x + 16y = 4650.

So the system that represents the situation is:

x + y = 330

9x + 16y = 4650

Answer 2

x + y = 330

9x + 16y = 4650

Explanation:

Given that x = children and y = adults, we can say that x + y = 330.

Since the total amount of money collect from both children and adults was $4650, we can say that 9x + 16y = 4650.

So the system that represents the situation is:

x + y = 330

9x + 16y = 4650
