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

I went to the grocery store the other day and there were no price tags on anything! I bought 3 loaves of bread and 1 milk jug an
Lostsunrise [7]
To solve this problem, set up and solve a system of equations.  The variables b and m will represent a bread loaf and milk jug, respectively:

\left \{ {{3b + m = 9} \atop {b + 2m =5.5}} \right.

I would solve using substitution.  Take one of the equations and set it equal to one of the variables, for example:

3b + m =9 \\ m = 9 -3b

Now, plug this into the other equation for m and solve for b:

b + 2m =5.5 \\ b + 2(9-3b)= 5.5 \\ b + 18 - 6b = 5.5 \\ -5b + 18 = 5.5 \\ -5b = -12.5 \\ b = 2.5

We now know that a loaf of bread costs $2.50.  Plug this value in for b in the first equation and solve for m:

3b + m = 9 \\ 3(2.5) + m = 9 \\ 7.5+m = 9 \\ m = 1.5

One jug of milk costs $1.50 and one loaf of bread costs $2.50.
