Which of the following options represents the number of children and the number of adults who purchased team shirts that day, and the pair of equations that can be solved to find the numbers?

The options are:

75 children and 25 adults Equation 1: a + c = 100 Equation 2: 3a − 2c = 275
75 children and 25 adults Equation 1: a + c = 100 Equation 2: 3a + 2c = 275
25 children and 75 adults Equation 1: a + c = 100 Equation 2: 3a − 2c = 275
25 children and 75 adults Equation 1: a + c = 100 Equation 2: 3a + 2c = 275
explanaition is welcome

Answer 1

25 children and 75 adults

Equation 1: a + c = 100

Equation 2: 3a + 2c = 275

It was right in the test for FLVS!

Answer 2

The answer is 25 children and 75 adults. Equation 1: A+C= 100 and equation 2: 2c+3a= 275
25(2)=50 75(3)=225.
225+50=275
Also 75+25=100
