Answer:

475 adults

Explanation:

Given: Admission price in a fair is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

Amount collected one day is $5050

2100 children paid the admission price.

As given 2100 children have paid the admission price.

∴ Amount of price paid by children =
number\ of\ children * prices\ per\ child

∴ Amount of price paid by children =
2100* 1.5 = \$ 3150

Now, finding the amount collected from adults.

Amount collected from adults =
Total\ collection - amount\ collected\ from\ children

∴ Amount collected from adults=
5050 - 3150 = \$ 1900

Next, finding the number of adults that paid admission.

∴ Number of adult =
(Amount\ collected\ from\ adult)/(price\ per\ adult)

Number of adult =
(1900)/(4) = 475\ adults

Total number of adults who paid the admission is 475.
