Answer:
170 children
74 students
85 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let:
For the capacity, we have:
For the tickets sold, we have:
Half as many as adults are children implies that:
Required
Solve for A, C and S
The equations to solve are:
-- (1)
-- (2)
-- (3)
Make C the subject in (3)
Substitute in (1) and (2)
-- (1)
Make S the subject
-- (2)
Substitute
Solve for A
Recall that:
Recall that:
Hence, the result is:
The topics you should learn are equating denominators and fractions. This is summing up simple fractions.
So we have to make denominators' numbers the same in order to sum up them all (we can sum fractions if the denominators are the same) , and we did it by cross product (that thing on the picture)
Equating by lcm (least common multiple) is the easiest way, because you might see bigger numbers on other questions, and cross product will bring much bigger numbers, so this technic might confuse you.
By the way lcm of 4 and 5 is already 20
Hope it helps!
