How much do parents pay for a primary child and a toddler child every month?

Answer 1

Pc=amount paid for primary child
t=amount paid for toddler

22pc + 18t =24,250
30pc + 15t =27,150

pc=595
t=620

Parents pay $595 for a pc.
$620 for a t

Answer 2

Parents pay $595 for a primary child and $620 for a toddler child every month.

Explanation:

Let x be the monthly fee of a primary child and y be the monthly fee of a toddler child.

The Smart Growing Preschool has 22 children in the primary class and 18 children in the toddler class. The revenue form Smart Growing Preschool is $24,250.

`22x+18y=24250` .... (1)

The other location has 30 children in the primary class and 15 children in the toddler class. The revenue at this location is $27,150.

`30x+15y=27150` .... (2)

On solving (1) and (2) by graphing calculator, we get

`x=595`

`y=620`

Therefore parents pay $595 for a primary child and $620 for a toddler child every month.
