Write a system of equations that represent this situtation

How many children and how many adults attended?

Answer 1

Whats the answer to this?!?!?!?!?

Explanation:

Answer 2

1.50c + 4.00a = 5,050

c + a = 2,200

-1.50 (c + a = 2,200)

1.50c + 4.00a = 5,050
-1.50c - 1.50a = -3,300

2.5a = 1750

a = 700

c + 700 = 2,200

c = 1500

700 adults and 1500 children attended the fair.
