Question

Admission fee to park is 1.5 for child and 4 dollars for adult. 302 people entered park total dollars collected 928. How many children? How many adults?

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of adults = 302 - x = 302 - 112 = 190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no. of child = x

Total people = 302

No. of adults = 302 - x

Now from the given data

Admission fee to park for child = 1.5

Admission fee to park for adult = 4

Total fee collected from children = 1.5 x

Total fee collected from adults = 4 × (302 - x)

Total fee collected = 928

1.5 x + 4 × (302 - x) = 928

1.5 x + 1208 - 4 x = 928

2.5 x = 1208 - 928 = 280

x = 112

Therefore no. of child = x = 112

No. of adults = 302 - x = 302 - 112 = 190
