Answer 1

The number of adults admitted were 28.

Explanation:

Given:

An amusement park charges $33 for student admission an $57 for adult admission. By 10:00am the park had made a total of $2,982 on park admissions.

Total sales made up of student tickets $1,386.

Now, to find the adults admitted into the park.

Total sales made up of student tickets = $1,386.

Total sales made up of = $2,982.

Now, to get the sales made of adult tickets by subtracting total sales made up of student tickets from total sales made up of:

`\$2982-\$1386\\\\=\$1596.`

Thus, the sales made of adult tickets is made up of $1,596.

Charges for an adult admission = $57.

Let the number of adult tickets be
`x.`

Now, to get the number of adults ticket by putting an equation:

`57 x=1596`

Dividing both sides by 57 we get:

`x=28.`

Therefore, the number of adults admitted were 28.
