Answer 1

First you add up how much the teenagers were in total and that would be $15 then add up children then thats $32 add the teen and children thats $47 than didvids 5300 by 47 and thats 112.7 then round 123 and divide by 6 and thats 20.5 then its equal to 21 adults.

Answer 2

300

Explanation:

6a + 5t + 4c = 5300

a + t + c = 1200

(8/3)*t = c

6a+4c+5t = 5300

a+c+t = 1200

3c-8t = 0

a = 100

c = 800

t = 300
