Dont solve just explain steps
the table below shows the ticket rates for whale watching trips offered by orca magic tours.
age ticket price
under three years free
three to twelve years $32
over twelve years $44
on a certain day, the company took 82 people on whale watching trips. there were 54 children aged twelve and under, of which some children were under three years. if x represents the number of children under three years, which equation can be used to find the value of x, where c

So in order for us to come up with the right equation, let us analyze the given problem first.
So the total number of people on the trip is 82.
The number of children under 12 is 54. Which makes the number of people over 12 is 28.
The number of children under 3 is x.
And c represents the total amount of money collected from tickets that day.
So based on this, we can say that the equation would be:
C = 28(44) + (54-x)32
I hope that answer helps. Let me know if you need more help next time. Thanks for posting your question.
