Question

Fourteen less children's meals were served

than adult meals at a barbecue. Children's
plates were $1.50 each and adults' plates
were $2.00 each. If the total amount of
money collected was $441, how many of
each type of plate was served?

Answer 1

441 + 14(1.50) = 462
462 / (2.00+1.50) = 132
132 - 14 = 118

132 adult plates were served and 118 children plates were served.
