Question

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults. On a certain day, 250 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled $750.00. How many children and how many adults were admitted?

Answer 1

100 children

150 adults

Explanation:

c- children

a- adults

---------------

we get equations as per question:

• 1.5c+4a= 750
• c+a= 250 ⇒ a= 250- c

• 1.5c +4(250-c)= 750 ⇒
• 1.5c- 4c+1000=750 ⇒
• 2.5 c= 250 ⇒
• c= 100
• a= 250-100 ⇒
• a= 150

Children 100, adults 150
