The answer is 2,770.3125 or you want me to check for a other answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let the number of children = c

The number of adults = a

Total people = 528

c + a = 528 ------------------------(I)

Total price = $ 985

1.25c + 2.25a = 985 ---------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by (-1.25).

(I)*(-1.25) -1.25c - 1.25a = - 660

(II) 1.25c + 2.25a = 985 {add, c will be eliminated}

a = 325

Number of adults = 325

Plugin the value of a in equation (I)

c + 325 = 528

c = 528 - 325

c = 203

Number of children = 203
