Answer:

23 children and 9 adults

p <= 70/9

Explanation:

Let x = # of adults and y = # of children. The number of children is 5 more than twice the number of adults, so x = 2y + 5. The total cost of entrance is $6525, so 225x + 150y = 6525.

x = 2y + 5

225x + 150y = 6525

x - 2y = 5

225x + 150y = 6525

75x - 150y = 375

225x + 150y = 6525

300x = 6900

x = 23

x = 2y + 5

23 = 2y + 5

18 = 2y

y = 9

225p + 3750 <= 5500

225p <= 1750

p <= 70/9
