Step-by-step explanation:
240 children and 382 adult swam at the public pool that day
Solution:
Let "c" be the number of childrens
Let "a" be the number of adults
Cost of 1 child ticket = $ 1.75
Cost of 1 adult ticket = $ 2.50
622 people used the public swimming pool
Therefore,
number of childrens + number of adults = 622
c + a = 622 ------ eqn 1
The receipts for admission totaled $ 1375.00
Therefore, we can frame a equation as:
number of childrens x Cost of 1 child ticket + number of adults x Cost of 1 adult ticket = 1375.00
1.75c + 2.50a = 1375 ----- eqn 2
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2
From eqn 1,
c = 622 - a -------- eqn 3
Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2
1.75(622 - a) + 2.50a = 1375
1088.5 - 1.75a + 2.50a = 1375
0.75a = 1375 - 1088.5
0.75a = 286.5
a = 382
Substitute a = 382 in eqn 3
c = 622 - 382
c = 240
Thus 240 children and 382 adult swam at the public pool that day
