Answer:
Adults(x)= 50 Children(y)= 150
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = adult
let y = children
Use the given information:
x(200) + y(150) = 32500
x + y = 200
Solve for x
x = 200-y
Substitute from the first equation we got
(200-y)(200) + y(150) = 32500
40000-200y + 150y = 32500
-40000 -40000
-50y = -7500
y = 150
Go back to x and substitute
x = 200 - (150)
x = 50
Know we know the both values. Try to put them in the first equation to verify our answers.
(50)200 + (150)150 = 32500
10000 + 22500 = 32500
✔ 32500 = 32500 ✔
