Question

The admission fee at a small fare is $1.50 for children and four dollars for adults. One certain day $5050 is collected. If 1000 adults attended the fair right and solve the Larry Quetion to find the number of children that attended

Answer 1

700 children attended the fair

Solution:

Let "a" be the number of children attended

Let "b" be the number of adults attended

Cost for each children = $ 1.50

Cost for each adult = $ 4

1000 adults attended the fair

b = 1000

One certain day $5050 is collected. Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of children attended x Cost for each children + number of adults attended x Cost for each adult = 5050

`a * 1.50 + 1000 * 4 = 5050\\\\1.5a + 4000 = 5050\\\\1.5a = 5050 - 4000\\\\1.5a = 1050\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 1.5\\\\a = 700`

Thus 700 children attended the fair
