Answer:

175 adults

360 senior citizens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of senior citizens

There were a total of 535 people, so

(535-x)=total number of adults

Total receipts=$8,355

Adult payments+Senior payments=$8,355

21(535-x)+13x=$8,355

$11,235-21x+13x=$8,355

$11,235-8x=$8,355

-8x=$-2,880

x=360 senior citizens

Number of adults=535-360=175 adults

To check, just substitute...

21(175)+13(360)

3,675+4,680

Which equals.....

$8,355

Kruka [31]

Using proportions, it is found that Diego traveled 15 miles in the cross-town cab ride.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, for the miles traveled, Diego paid 18.50 - 2.25 = $16.25. Considering the fee of $1.25 per mile, the distance he traveled is given by:

d = 16.25/1.25 = 15.
