477/36= 13.25
You divide the two numbers to see that 36 will go into 477, 13.25 times.

Children=x
Adults=y
* x + y =275 => x = 275 - y
* 3.00x + 6.40y = 1284 <=> 3.00(275 - y) + 6.40y = 1284 <=> ... <=> y = 135 => x = 275 - 135 = 140
Children: 140
Adults: 135
Hi there!
Let the first number be represented by X.
The second number (which is 2 more than four times the other), can be represented by 4X + 2.
We can now find the sum of this expression.
X + 4X + 2
Collect terms
5X + 2
The sum of the numbers is 18. Therefore we can set up the following equation.
5X + 2 = 18
Subtract 2.
5X = 16
Divide both sides by 5.
X = 16/5 = 3 1/5.
Therefore, the first number is 3 1/5. To find the second number we must plug in X = 3 1/5 into the expression 4X + 2
4 * (3 1/5) + 2 = 12 4/5 + 2 = 14 4/5
The two numbers are

~ Hope this helps you!
