Given:
$7/child
$10/adult
Total people = 700
Total money = $6,400
First, make two equations.
Let a = # of adults & Let c = # of children.
Let p = total people
1. a+c = 700
2. 10a+7c = 6,400
Then, rearrange the equation to solve for a variable.
c = 700-a
Substitute (700-a) for c, or the # of children in the second equation.
10a+(700-a) = 6400
9a+700 = 6400
9a+700-700 = 6400-700
9a = 5700
9a/9 = 5700/9
a = 633
= # of adults attended
700-633 = c = 66 
= # of children attended

Answer:
Minimum number of units sold to make profit is equal to 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Revenue earned by the company as a function of number of units sold as x:
R(x) = 0.55x
Cost for selling units as a function of number of units sold as x:
C(x) = 10 + 0.05x
<em>Net profit earned by the company = (Revenue earned by the company) - (Cost of selling units)</em>
P(x) = (0.55x) - (10 + 0.05x)
P(x) = 0.55x - 10 - 0.05x
P(x) = 0.5x - 10
To earn profit the following condition should satisfy: P(x) ≥ 0
0.5x - 10 ≥ 0
0.5x ≥ 10
x ≥
x ≥ 20
