I do not think they can be whole numbers because a percent is a fraction and fractions are not whole numbers.

Answer: Not possible

Step-by-step explanation: A whole number is an integer or a number without fractions. Both 15% and 40% are less than 1 since they are less than 100%; therefore, it is impossible to express them as whole numbers. They can only be expressed as the mixed numbers of 0.15 and 0.4, or 15/100 and 40/100.

A total of 165 people attended the opening night of a school play. Adults were charged $6, and children were charged $2. The tot

Given Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people = 165
Adult = $6
Child = $2
Total collected = $618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of adults and y be the number of children

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people
x + y = 165
Total amount collected
6x + 2y = 618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: The two equations are x + y = 165 and 6x + 2y = 618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The question is not asking for it but if you need to solve the equation to find the answer to x and y

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present the two equations and solve for x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 165 ------------------------- (eqn 1)
6x + 2y = 618 ------------------------- (eqn 2)

(eqn 1) :
x + y = 165
x = 165 - y ------------------------- substitute into (eqn 2)

6(165 - y) + 2y = 618
990 - 6y + 2y = 618
4y = 990 - 618
4y = 372
y = 93 ------------------------- substitute into (eqn 1)

x + y = 165
x + 93 = 165
x = 165 - 93
x = 72

x = 72 and y = 93

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: 72 adults and 93 children
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
