An amusement park collected $15,513 in revenue from ticket sales one day. They charge $30 for adults and $9 for children. If there were 865 people in attendance that day, how many were adults?

Respuesta :

The number of adults that are there will be 368 adults.

Let adults = a

Let children = c

The equation to solve the question will be:

a + c = 865 ....... i

30a + 9c = 15513 ...... ii

From equation i, c = 865 - a

Since 30a + 9c = 15513

30a + 9(865 - a) = 15513

30a + 7785 - 9a = 15513

30a - 9a = 15513 - 7785

21a = 7728

a = 7728/21

a = 368
