Question

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults. On a certain day, 362 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled $1,018 dollars. How many children and how many adults were admitted?

Answer 1

children = 172 adults = 190

Explanation:

x= 172 y=190

1.5x+4y = 1018

x+y=362

4x+4y=1448

-1.5x-4y=-1018

2.5x=430

x=172

1.5(172) + 4y =1018

258 + 4y = 1018

4y = 760

y = 190
