Answer:
Number of adults that attended the show = 400
Number of children that attended the show = 359
Total people who attended the show = 759
Step-by-step explanation:
Total earned = 15,385
Adults = $25
Children = $15
Let
Adults = A
Children = C
The number of adults who attendee the show was 41 more than the number of children who attended the show
A = C + 41
25A + 15C = 15,385
Substitute
A = C + 41
25(C+41) + 15C = 15,385
25C + 1,025 + 15C = 15,385
40C + 1,025 = 15,385
40C = 15,385 - 1,025
40C = 14,360
Divide both sides by 40
C = 14,360 / 40
= 359
C = 359
Substitute C = 359 into
A = C + 41
A = 359 + 41
= 400
A = 400
Number of adults that attended the show = 400
Number of children that attended the show = 359
Total people who attended the show = 759
