The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults. On a certain day, 2,900 people entered the park, and the
admission fees that were collected totaled $6,100. How many children and how many adults were admitted?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

x= children

y= adult

First equation: x+y= 2900

Second equation: 1.50x + 4y= 6100

From first equation: x+y= 2900

x= 2900-y, becomes the third equation

Second equation: 1.50(2900-y) + 4y= 6100

4350-1.50y+ 4y= 6100

2.5y = 1750

y= 700

700 adults

Thrid equation: x= 2900-700

= 2200

2200 children

So total have 700 adults and 2200 children

Hope this help you!
