Let

x--------> the number of children

y------> the number of teenagers

z------> the number of adults

we know that

2x+3y+5z=1,950 ------> equation A

x+y+z=570 -----> equation B

y=\frac{3}{4}x

x=\frac{4}{3}y -------> equation C

Substitute equation C in equation A and equation B

2[\frac{4}{3}y]+3y+5z=1,950

\frac{17}{3}y+5z=1,950 --------> equation D

[\frac{4}{3}y]+y+z=570

\frac{7}{3}y+z=570 --------> equation E

Multiply equation E by -5

-\frac{35}{3}y-5z=-2,850 --------> equation F

Adds equation D and equation F

\frac{17}{3}y+5z=1,950\\\\-\frac{35}{3}y-5z=-2,850\\\\---------\\\\-\frac{18}{3}y=-900\\\\y=3*900/18\\\\y=150\ teenagers

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

150\ teenagers

If you're not sure, begin by looking for any divisor that will divide into 24a^3c and 3a without leaving a remainder.  Note that 3 is such a number, and a is another.  

Factoring out 3a from 24a^3*c and 3a, we get 3a{8a^2*c, 1}

So the GCF is 3a.
