188 children and 155 adults were admitted that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one children admission = $2.50

Cost of one adult admission = $5.80

Number of people entered = 343

Total admission fees collected = $1369

Let,

Number of children admission = x

Number of adult admission = y

According to given statement;

x+y=343     Eqn 1

2.50x+5.80y=1369     Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2.50

2.50(x+y=343)\\2.50x+2.50y=857.50\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(2.50x+5.80y)-(2.50x+2.50y)=1369-857.50\\2.50x+5.80y-2.50x-2.50y=511.50\\3.30y=511.50

Dividing both sides by 3.30

\frac{3.30y}{3.30}=\frac{511.50}{3.30}\\y=155

Putting y=155 in Eqn 1

x+155=343\\x=343-155\\x=188

188 children and 155 adults were admitted that day.

german

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the remainder of the question:

a. Who has more money after the first additional deposit? Explain.

b. Who has more money after the second additional deposit?

a. Amount put in savings account = $300

Leroi's amount after first week = $300 + $60 = $360

Sylvia's amount after first week = $300 + (20% × $300) = $300 + (0.2 × $300) = $300 + $60 = $360

They both have equal amount after the first week.

b. After the second deposit,

Leroi's saving = $360 + $60 = $420

Sylvia's saving = $360 + (20% × $360) = $360 + $72 = $432

Sylvia has more savings after the second week
