Question

The admission fee at a small fair is $2.25 for children and $2.50 for adults. On a certain day $2050 is collected,

Answer 1

Answer:

370 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you multiply 2.25 by 500 and get 1125

Then, you subtract 1125 from 2050 which gives you 925

Lastly, you divide 925 by 2.5 and get 370

2.25x500=1125

2050-1125=925

925/2.5=370

Check your work by:

2.25x500=1125

2.5x370=925

              =2050
