Answer:
57
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of children ($1.75 each) and a represent the number of adults ( $2.00 each).
We know that there were 340 people total, so c + a = 340. This implies that a = 340 - c
We also know that $1.75 c + $2.00 a = $609.25
By substituting a with 340 -c we have $1.75 c + $2.00 (340 -c) = $609.25
Use the distributive property to obtain $1.75 c + $680 - $2.00 c = $609.25
Subtract $680 from both sides and combine like terms to get - $0.25 c = -
$70.75
Now, divide both sides by -$0.25 to get c = 283, the number of children.
The number of adults is 340 - c or 340 - 283 = 57
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x
and according to question,
six + 2 times a number = 2x + 6
26 + 6 times a number = 6x + 26
→ 2x + 6 = 6x + 26
→ -6x + 2x = 26 - 6
→ -4x = 20
→ x = 20/4 = 5
→ x = 5
therefore, the number is 5.
hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may u have a great day ahead!
