Write the correct answer in the
blank provided.
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 adults attend?
Let
Number of adults = a
Number of children = b
With these variables you can create variable for the totals they’ve given:
Total number of people enter the fair: = 2200
Total income: 4a + 1.5c =
Now you can solve the system for the number of adults and the number of children. You will solve the first equation for one of the variables, and then substitute the result into the other equation:
a = 2200 – c
4(__________) + 1.5c = 5050
________ + 1.5c = 5050
8800 – ____c= 5050
–____ = ________
c = ________
Now you can back-solve for the value of the other variable:
a = 2200 – (1500) = ________
You have values for my two variables. I can look back at my definitions for the variables to interpret these values. To answer the original question, there were:
