To solve, you would need to make two equations and substitute one in for the other. Let a = # of adults, and c = # of children
5a + 2c = 1,220
a + c = 295
a + c = 295
-c -c
a = 295 - c
5(295 - c) + 2c = 1,220
1,475 - 5c + 2c = 1,220
1,475 - 3c = 1,220
1,475 - 3c = 1,220
-1,475 -1,475
-3c = -255
-3c/-3 = -255/-3
c = 85
a + c = 295
a + 85 = 295
-85 -85
a = 210

Hope this helps!
Okay so we have to first find the total.
8+3+5= 16 candies
7+4+9= 20 drinks
Since she wants to get a yellow candy and any drink but orange, put that information as a fraction.
8/16= 50% or 1/2
11/20= 55% (By the way you get 11 because of the 7 red and 4 blue).
And that's your answer!
Hope this helped and good luck! ^=^
1,75% = 0,0175
per month: 0,0175/12 = 0,00145833
500*0,00145833 = 0,73$ interest
