I believe you'd need the price values of both adult tickets and child tickets to correctly solve
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount invested at 6%. Then the amount invested at 12% is 4x+249. Sherrie's interest is ...
0.06x +0.12(4x +249) = 988.92
0.54x + 29.88 = 988.92
0.54x = 959.04
x = 959.04/0.54 = 1776
4x+249 = 7353
__
Sherrie invested $1776 at 6% and $7353 at 12%.
This statement is correct as 12 is half of 24 and 2 is half of 4. We can also put this as the fraction 1/2 or 0.5 or 50% or 1:2. Therefore for every one bot there are two girls in the class.
