the admission fee at an amusement park is $20 for children and $35 for adults. on a certain day 247 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled $6965. how many children and how many adults were admitted

Respuesta :

Answer:  112 children & 135 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

            #        $    

Child:     x         20x

Adult:    y          35y

Total:   247     6965

#:      x +    y =    247   →   -20(x + y = 247)         →   -20x - 20y = -4940

$: 20x + 35y = 6965  →   1(20x + 35y = 6965)  →   20x + 35y = 6965

                                                                                            15y  = 2025

                                                                                                y  =  135

Substitute y = 135 into either of the original equations to solve for x:

x +   y = 247

x + 135 = 247

      x  = 112
