389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one child ticket = $1.75

Cost of one adult ticket = $2.25

Total people = 613

Total receipts worth = $1184.75

Let,

Number of children = x

Number of adults = y

According to given statement;

x+y=613    Eqn 1

1.75x+2.25y=1184.75    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 1.75

[tex]1.75(x+y=613)\\1.75x+1.75y=1072.75\ \ \ Eqn\ 3[/tex]

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

[tex](1.75x+2.25y)-(1.75x+1.75y)=1184.75-1072.75\\1.75x+2.25y-1.75x-1.75y=112.00\\0.50y=112.00[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.50

[tex]\frac{0.50y}{0.50}=\frac{112.00}{0.50}\\y=224[/tex]

Putting y=224 in Eqn 1

[tex]x+224=613\\x=613-224\\x=389\\[/tex]

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.
