Answer:

95

Explanation:

Let x be the number of children

10x+35 = money

15x+5 = money

Set the equations equal

10x+35 = 15x+5

Subtract 10x from each side

35 = 5x+5

Subtract 5 from each side

30 =5x

Divide by 5

30/5 =5x/5

6 =x

There are 6 children

10x+35 = money

10(6) +35

60+35

95

The amount of money is 95
