3a + 2c = 275  .... t-shirt costs $3 per adult and $2 per child and <span>total money collected was $275
</span>
a + c = 100 ... the total number of adults (a) and children (c) who bought shirts was 100

so

3a + 2c = 275
a + c = 100 so a = 100 - c

substitute a =   100 - c into 3a + 2c = 275

3a + 2c = 275
3(100 - c) + 2c = 275
300 - 3c + 2c = 275
-c = - 25
c = 25
a = 100 -c = 100 - 25 = 75

so a = 75 (adults) and c = 25 (children)

answer

<span>Equation 1: a + c = 100
Equation 2: 3a + 2c = 275
25 children and 75 adults</span>

yulyashka [42]
Surface area of a square pyramid is the area of the base + 4 times the area of one of the slanted sides.
Area of base = side length * side length
Area of side = (1/2) * side length * slant height
Don't forget that you have to multiply the area of the side by 4!

Step 1: 12 x 12 = 144
Step 2: 12 x 20 = 240 divided by 2 = 120
Step 3: 144 + 120 x 4
