The admission fee at a small fair is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults. On a certain day, 2,200 people enter the fair and $5,050 are collected at the ticket counter.
How many children and how many adults attended?

A.700 children and 1,500 adults
B.1,500 children and 700 adults
C. 1,650 children and 550 adults
D. 550 children and 1,650 adults

B . 1500 children and 700 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation

make use of variables:

children --x

adults --y

1.5x + 4y = 5050

x + y = 2200

now make use of the options given and place them into the equation .

lets try the first one

1.5 * (700) + 4*(1500) = 7050

lets try the second one

1.5 * ( 1500) + 4 *(700) = 5050

the answer is B.

you can check the others if you want to , so that you are able to see if you are correct. ( optional)

no, the equation would be invalid since they are both not equal.

step-by-step explanation:

here you got

4y-6+4y 2-9

first, you would simplify the equation on the form.

4y-6+4y 2-9

then, move all the terms that contains a y to the left and all the other terms to the right.

+4y-4y+-9-6

finally, you will simplify the left and the right side of the equation.

y=-3
