On a certain hot summer's day, 477 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are 1.50 for children and 2.25 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled 914.25 How many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that day?

212 children, and 265 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of children and adults, we can set up a systems of equations.

x= number of children

y= number of adults

Equation 1: Price

1.50x+2.25y=914.25

Equation 2: Total number of people

x+y=477

Now, let's solve the equation using substitution.

Rearrange the second equation to solve for one variable.

x+y=477

x=477-y

Now plug x equals into the first equation, and solve for y.

1.50x+2.25y=914.25

1.50(477-y)+2.25y=914.25

715.5-1.50y+2.25y=914.25

715.5+0.75y=914.25

0.75y=198.75

y=265

We just solved for the number of adults. Now let's plug y equals into the second equation to find the number of children.

x+y=477

x+265=477

x=212

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
