Answer: 60 kids, 180 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of children and y be the number of adults eating.

If they have 240 people eating then x+y=240.

If they have to fundraise 1200 then 2x+6y=1200.

Solving the system of equations, we can multiply the first equation by 2 to get 2x+2y=480. Then subtract the two equations and get -4y=-720, so y=180. Substitute y=180 back in to get x=60.

Hope that helped,

Answer: $100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P be the amount he invested in 5% profit .

then 250,000-P be the amount he invested in 10% profit .

The total profit he earns at 5% =5% of P

⇒The total profit he earns at 5 %=0.05P

Now, The total profit he earns at 10% =10% of (250,000-P)

⇒The total profit he earns at 10%= $0.1(250,000-P)=25,000-0.1P$

According to the question,

$3(0.05P)=25,000-0.1P\\\Rightarrow\ 0.15P=25,000-0.1P\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25P=25,000\\\Rightarrow\ P=\frac{25000}{0.25}\\\Rightarrow\ P=100,000$

Thus, the money he invest in the company that made 5%= $100,000
