Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

After adding 88 red marbles, there are 50 blue marbles out of the 204 marbles total.

Let the number of blue marbles to be added be x.

\frac{50+x}{204+x}=\frac{5}{12} \\ \\ 600+12x=1020+5x \\ \\ 420=7x \\ \\ x=60

VikaD [51]

Answer:

57 children

54 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x the number of children admitted and call z the number of adults admitted.

Then we know that:

x + z = 111

We also know that:

3.25x + 4z = 401.25

We want to find the value of x and z. Then we solve the system of equations:

-Multiplay the first equation by -4 and add it to the second equation:

-4x - 4z = -444

3.25x + 4z = 401.25

----------------------------------

-0.75x = -42.75

x =\frac{-42.75}{-0.75}\\\\x=57

Now we substitute the value of x in the first equation and solve for the variable z

57 + z = 111

z = 111-57

z = 54
