Answer 1

Parents pay for primary childrens be $595 and parents pay for toddler childrens be $ 620 .

Option (A) is correct .

Explanation:

Let us assume that the parents pay for primary childrens be x .

Let us assume that the parents pay for toddler childrens be y .

As given

.One location of The Smart Growing Preschool has 22 children in the primary class and 18 children in the toddler class.

The revenue at the first location is $24,250 .

Than the equation becomes

22x + 18y = 24250

As given

The other location has 30 children in the primary class and 15 children in the toddler class.

The revenue at the second location is $27150.

Than the equation becomes

30x + 15y = 27150

Than two equations are

22x + 18y = 24250

30x + 15y = 27150

Multiply 22x + 18y = 24250 by 15 .

15 × (22x + 18y = 24250)

15 × 22x + 15 × 18y = 15 × 24250

330x + 270y = 363750

Multiply 30x + 15y = 27150 by 18 .

18 × ( 30x + 15y = 27150 )

18 × 30x + 18 × 15y = 18 × 27150

540x + 270y = 488700

Now subtracted 330x + 270y = 363750 from 540x + 270y = 488700 .

540x - 330x + 270y - 270y = 488700 - 363750

210x = 124950

`x = (124950)/(210)`

x = $ 595

Putting in the equation

22x + 18y = 24250

22 × 595 + 18y = 24250

13090 + 18y = 24250

18y = 24250 - 13090

18y = 11160

`y = (11160)/(18)`

y = $ 620

Therefore the parents pay for primary childrens be $595 and parents pay for toddler childrens be $ 620 .

Option (A) is correct .

Answer 2

Let the amount paid for a a primary child be x and that of a toddler be y, then
22x + 18y = 24250 . . . (1)
30x + 15y = 27150 . . . (2)

solving the simultaneous linear equations gives that x = 595 and y = 620

Therefore, parents pay $595 for a primary child and $620 for a toddler child.
