Answer:

Explanation:

1) Number of children = c

Number of adults = a

Total ticket = 250

c + a = 250 -------------------(I)

Cost of 'c' children tickets = 200c

Cost of 'a' adult tickets = 450a

Total cost = 76000

200c + 450a = 76000 ------------------(II)

Multiply (I) by (-200) and then add

(I)*(-200) -200c - 200a = -50000

(II) 200c + 450a = 76000

250a = 26000

a = 26000/250

a = 104

Plug in a = 104 in equation (1)

c + 104 = 250

c = 250 - 104

c = 146

2)Number of children = 146

Number of adults = 104
