Question

The admission fee at a concert is $4.00 for children and $8.00 for adults. On the first day, 2350 people enter the concert and $12400 is collected. How many children attended?

Answer 1

1,600

Explanation:

C=4.00

A=8.00

C+A=2,350

C=2,350-A

4C+8A=12,400

4(2,350-A)+8A=12,400

9,400-4A+8A=12,400

4A=12,400-9,400

4A=3,000

A=3,000/4

A=750 ADULTS ATTENDED.

C+750=2,350

C=2,350-750

C=1,600 CHILDREN ATTENDED.
