Answer:

-> a + c = 1250 ____________ (1)

-> 8a + 5c = 7300 __________(2)

There were 900 children and 350 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children at the carnival be c.

Let the number of adults at the carnival be a.

The admission fee at a carnival is $5 for children and $8 for adults on Friday.

1250 people attended the carnival and $7300 was collected. This means two things:

-> a + c = 1250 ____________ (1)

-> 8a + 5c = 7300 __________(2)

We now have a system of equations representing the problem.

To solve, make a subject of formula in (1):

a = 1250 - c _______(3)

Put (3) in (2):

8(1250 - c) + 5c = 7300

10000 - 8c + 5c = 7300

10000 - 7300 = 3c

3c = 2700

c = 2700 / 3 = 900

Put the value of c back in (3):

a = 1250 - 900 = 350

Therefore, there were 900 children and 350 adults at the carnival.
