Answer:
148 children and 140 adults were admitted.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the admission fee at an amusement park is $ 3.50 for children and $ 13.00 for adults and on a certain day, 288 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled $ 2,338.00, to determine how many children and how many adults were admitted you must be perform the following calculation:
13 - 3.5 = 9.50
288 x 3.50 = X
1.008 = X
2338 - 1008 = 1330
1330 / 9.5 = 140
288 - 140 = 148
148 x 3.5 + 140 x 13 = X
2338 = X
Therefore, 148 children and 140 adults were admitted.
