A zoo train ride costs $3 per adult and $1 per child. On a certain day, the total number of adults (a) and children (c) who took

the ride was 30, and the total money collected was $50. What was the number of children and the number of adults who took the train ride that day, and which pair of equations can be solved to find the numbers?
Select one:
a. 20 children and 10 adults
Equation 1: a + c = 30
Equation 2: 3a + c = 50
b. 10 children and 20 adults
Equation 1: a + c = 30
Equation 2: 3a – c = 50
c. 20 children and 10 adults
Equation 1: a + c = 30
Equation 2: 3a – c = 50
d. 10 children and 20 adults
Equation 1: a + c = 30
Equation 2: 3a + c = 50

A=adult
c=children
total lumber=30
total number=adults+children
a+c=30

total cost=50
total cost=acost+ccost

acost=a times cost per adult=a times 3=3a
ccost=c times cost per child=c tiems 1=1c=c
total cost=3a+c
50=3a+c

equiaotn are
a+c=30
3a+c=50
multiplyu first by -1 and add
3a-a+c-c=50-30
2a=20
a=10
sub
10+c=30
c=20

answer is A

A=number of adults
c=number of children
we can suggest this system of equation:

a+c=30
3a+c=50

We can solve this system of equations by substitution method.
a=30-c

3(30-c)+c=50
90-3c+c=50
-2c=50-90
-2c=-40
c=-40/-2=20

a=30-20=10

Answer:
a. 20 children and 10 adults
Equation 1:    a+c=30
Equation 2:  3a+c=50

What value of a is a solution to this equation?<br> 1=3+a<br> 4
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

1=a4+3

Step 1: Subtract a^4+3 from both sides.

1−(a4+3)=a4+3−(a4+3)

−a4−2=0

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

−a4−2+2=0+2

−a4=2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−a4

−1

=

a4=−2

Step 4: Take root.

Parker Middle School's chior needs to raise $480 for an upcoming trip they will take. At their first fundraising project, they r
harkovskaia [24]

The money does the choir still need to raise is $180.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The money needed to be raised by the choir for an upcoming trip = $480.

It is given that, the money needed was raised in two fundraising projects.

<u>During the first fundraising project :</u>

The choir raised 25% of the money needed for the trip.

⇒ 25% of 480

⇒ (25/100) × 480

⇒ (1/4) × 480

⇒ 120

Therefore, the first fundraising project raised $120.

<u>During the second fundraising project :</u>

The choir raised 3/8 of the money needed for the trip.

⇒ 3/8 of 480

⇒ (3/8) × 480

⇒ 3 × 60

⇒ 180

Therefore, the second fundraising project raised $180.

<u>To find the money does the choir still need to raise :</u>

You need to find the remaining amount from the 480 after raising money from the two fund raising projects.

For that, find out how much you raised from those fund raising projects and subtract it from the 480.

Money needed = Total money required for the trip - Raised money

⇒ 480 - (120+180)  

⇒ 480 - 300

⇒ 180 dollars.

The money does the choir still need to raise is $180.
