<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>Let's first set up some variables</u>:
- c: # of children
- a: # of adults
<u>Let's examine the information given:</u>
- Elevator can hold a maximum of 1500 pounds
⇒ average child is 75 pounds
⇒ average adult is 150 pounds
⇒<em> therefore</em>: 
- Elevator can fit no more than 14 people
⇒ <em>therefore</em>: 
<u>Let's graph the equations</u>:

⇒ look at the image attached
<u>The point at which the two graphs intersect:</u>
⇒ <em>is the solution that represents the amount of children and adults and </em>
<em> their combine weight</em>
<em />
<u><em>With the horizontal axis being the # of children and vertical axis being the # of adults</em></u><em>:</em>
<em> ⇒ the </em><em>solution is 8 children and 6 adults</em>
<em></em>
<u>Answer: 8 children and 6 adults</u>
<u></u>

Answer:
<h2>$351.9</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
the question is not formatted well
<em>A store charges $414 for a small refrigerator, the price consists of the refrigerator's original cost to the store plus a profit 15% what was the refrigerator's original cost to the store?</em>
Step one:
given data
we are told that the price of the small refrigerator contains both the original price and 15% profit
mathematically
$414= original price + 15% profit
Step two:
let us solve for 15% of 414
=(15/100)*414
=0.15*414
=$62.1
This shows that the profit is $62.1
let the original price be x
$414= x + 62.1
solve for x
x=414-62.1
x=351.9
<u>The refrigerator's original cost to the store $351.9</u>
