Question

The admission prices for a small fair are $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults. In one day there was $5050 collected. If we know that 2100 children paid admission, find the number of adults that paid admission.

Answer 1

Answer: 475 adults paid admission

Explanation:

1.50c+4a=5050 (1.50 per child and 4 per adult)

1.50(2100)+4c=5050 (2100 children times 1.5 each)

3130+4a=5050

4a=1900

a=475
