Answer:

Number of children = x = 330

Number of adults = y = 358

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of children = x

Number of adults = y

x + y = 688 (1)

1.75x + 2.00y = 1293.50 (2)

From (1)

x = 688 - y

Substitute x = 688 - y into (2)

1.75x + 2.00y = 1293.50

1.75(688 - y) + 2.00y = 1293.50

1,204 - 1.75y + 2.00y = 1293.50

- 1.75y + 2.00y = 1293.50 - 1,204

0.25y = 89.50

y = 358

Substitute y = 358 into (1)

x + y = 688

x + 358 = 688

x = 688 - 358

x = 330

Number of children = x = 330

Number of adults = y = 358

qaws [65]

Answer: 105 packs

Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is 105 packs of table tennis balls. You need a total of 626 balls, so you divide this by 6 because that is what a standard package contains. The formula is 626/6 = 104.3. You will need 104 packs plus .3 of a pack, which means that you need to round it up to 105 packs of table tennis balls.
