Answer: 275 adult tickets and 500 children's tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let c represent the number of children's tickets that were sold.

The total number of tickets that were sold is 775. It means that

a + c = 775

If adults tickets sold for 2.50 and children’s tickets sold for 1.00 and the total amount was $1187.5, it means that

2.5a + c = 1187.5- - - - - - - - - - -1

substituting a = 775 - c into equation 1, it becomes

2.5(775 - c) + c = 1187.5

1937.5 - 2.5c + c = 1187.5

- 2.5c + c = 1187.5 - 1937.5

- 1.5c = - 750

c = - 750/ - 1.5

c = 500

Substituting c = 500 into a = 775 - c, it becomes

a = 775 - 500

a = 275

Answer:

The distance is 280 miles

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

When going to the mountain:

Let the speed be x.

Speed = x

Time = 8

When going home:

Speed = 21 + x

Time = 5

Required

Determine the distance of the mountains

Distance is calculated as:

Distance =  Speed * Time

When going to the mountains, the distance is:

Distance = x * 8

When going home, the distance is:

Distance = (21 + x) * 5

It should be noted that, the distance is the same.

So, we have:

x * 8 = (21 + x) * 5

Open bracket

x * 8 = 21* 5 + x * 5

8x = 105 + 5x

Collect Like Terms

8x - 5x= 105

3x= 105

Divide both sides by 3

x= \frac{105}{3}

x= 35

Substitute 35 for x in

Distance = x * 8

Distance = 35  * 8

Distance = 280

<em>The distance is 280 miles</em>
