Using a system of equations, it is found that 10,000 children attended the park that day.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are:
- Variable c: Number of children in the park.
- Variable a: Number of adults in the park.
The attendance at the amusement park is 30,000 attendees, hence:
c + a = 30,000, which is the first equation in matrix form.
Then:
a = 30,000 - c
The cost of attending an amusement park is $10 for children and $20 for adults. The total money earned by the park is $500,000, hence:
10c + 20a = 500,000, which is the second equation in matrix form.
Since a = 30,000 - c, we replace:
10c + 20a = 500,000
10c + 20(30000 - c) = 500,000
10c = 100,000
c = 10,000.
