The total fare for two adults and three children on an excursion boat is $14. if each childs fare is one half of each adults fare, what is the adult fare

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem you just have to create an equation, and it´s very simple, each kid ticket will be represented by the letter "x", and as we know a kid´s ticket is worth half what is worth an adult ticket, so the adult ticket = 2 kids tickets=2x

So we know that there are 2 adults and three kids, and the totla was $14, we create our equation:

Now we know that the kids ticket is $2, so the adult ticket would be twice that, $4 is the price of the adult ticket.

answer: the first one

step-by-step explanation: use a calculator and divide the minutes by the dollars.
