Answer:
115 adults and 156 children were admitted at the amusement park.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the admission fee at an amusement park is $ 2.25 for children and $ 5.40 for adults, and on a certain day 271 people enter the park and the admission fees collected a total of $ 972, to determine how many children and how many adults were admitted se you must perform the following calculation:
5.40 - 2.25 = 3.15
271 x 2.25 = 609.75
(972 - 609.75) / 3.15 = X
362.25 / 3.15 = X
115 = X
(115 x 5.40) + ((271-115) x 2.25) = X
621 + (156 x 2.25) = X
621 + 351 = X
972 = X
Thus, 115 adults and 156 children were admitted at the amusement park.
