Answer:the number of adults that attended the game is 135.
the number of children that attended the game is 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of adults that attended the game.
Let y represent the number of children that attended the game.
There were 166 paid admissions to a game. This means that
x + y = 166
The price was $2 for adults and $.75 for children. The amount of data taken in was $293.25. This means that
2x + 0.75y = 293.25 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 166 - y into equation 1, it becomes
2(166 - y) + 0.75y = 293.25
332 - 2y + 0.75y = 293.25
- 2y + 0.75y = 293.25 - 332
- 1.25y = - 38.75
y = - 38.75/- 1.25
y = 31
x = 166 - y = x = 166 - 31
x = 135
