Question

PLEASE HELPPP!!!

The admission fee at the museum is 8.50 for children and 12.50 for adults on a certain day, a total of 240 people entered the museum and 2400$ was collected.

Use the variable c to represent children and the variable a to represent the adult

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

a + c = 240 re-arrange to c = 240-a

revenue from child tix = 8.50 ( 240-a)

revenue from adult tix = 12.50 a summed, the revenues = 2400

8.5(240-a) + 12.5 a = 2400

2040 - 8.5 a + 12.5 a = 2400

4.5 a = 360

a = 80 tix then c = 240 - a = 160 tix
