Explanation:

Answer 2

Write equations with j own information:

Adult + child = 200

Adult = 200 - child

3.00 Adult + 1.50 child = 510

Combine equations:

3.00(200-child) + 1.50 child = 510

Simplify:

600 -3.00 child + 1.50 child = 510

600 - 1.50 child = 510

Subtract 600 from both sides:

-1.50 child = -90

Divide both sides by -1.50

Child = -90 / -1.50

Child = 60

There were 60 child seats sold and 140 adult seats sold.
