Question

The admission fee at a small fair is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults. On a certain day, 2200 people enter the fair and $5050 is collected. How many children and how many adults attended?​

Answer 1

Let x be the number of children that attended.

Let y be the number of adults that attended.

x+y=2200

1.5x+4y=5050

Solving this system, our answer is:

x=1500

y=700

1500 kids attended and 700 adults attended.
