Answer:
152 kids and 30 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we must create a system of equations
Suppose:
x = the number of adults
y = the number of children
We know that a total of 182 people attended the trip.
So:
x + y = 182
This equation represents the number of people attending the trip.
To find out the cost, look at the problem.
It costs 13$ for one adult and 8$ for a child.
So:
13x + 8y = 1606
This equation represents the total cost to attend the museum. Now, we must solve.
[There are two ways to solve a system of equations, substitution and adding/subtracting. I will use adding and subtracting. The steps to solving the system of equations is in the photos below]
The final answer is 152 kids and 30 adults
I hope this helps!!! :)
