Answer:
51 adults and 193 children
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of children = c
Cost for c children = c*4 = 4c
Number of adults = a
Cost for a adults = 6a
Total people = 244
a + c = 244 ---------------(I)
a = 244 - c ----------(II)
Cost for 244 people = $ 1078
6a + 4c = 1078 -------------(III)
Substitute a = 244 - c in equation (III)
6*(244 - c) + 4c = 1078
1464 - 6c + 4c = 1078
1464 - 2c = 1078
-2c = 1078 - 1464
-2c = -386
c = -386/-2
c = 193
a = 244 - 193
a = 51
