120 children and 388 adults bought tickets for the swimming pool
Explanation:
Create two simultanous equations:
Let c stand for the number of children that bought a ticket, and a stand for the number of adults that bought a ticket, you get your first equation, being
c
+
a
=
508
then, you now create a second equation for the prices of the tickets.
(price of childrens tickets)(number of children that swam)+(price of adults tickets)(number of adults that swam) = total money collected
so:
1.75
c
+
2.25
a
=
1083.00

now we still know, that
a
=
508
−
c

so we can substitute it into the second formula
1.75
c
+
2.25
(
508
−
c
)
=
1083

now its just simple algebra
1.75
c
+
1143
−
2.25
c
=
1083

60
=
0.5
c
so:
c
=
120
now we know, that 120 children went to the swimming pool.
and we still have the formula from before:
a
=
508
−
c
so
a
=
388

Answer:

31 children and 290 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of adults and c = number of children.

a + c = 321

2a + 1.75c = 634.25

Multiply both sides of the the first equation by -2 and add it to the second equation.

         -2a -     2c = -642

(+)       2a + 1.75c = 634.25

--------------------------------------

                 -0.25c = -7.75

Divide both sides by -0.25

c = 31

Use the first equation to find a.

a + c = 321

Substitute 31 for c.

a + 31 = 321

Subtract 31 from both sides.

a = 290

Answer: 31 children and 290 adults

NARA [144]

Answer:

Avoid Using too many statistics

Step-by-step explanation:

when a speaker is giving a speech, the listeners prefer main points to hearing too much of statistics. Too many statistics bore the audience and sometimes divert their attentions from the crux of the speech. If statistics are to be given, they must be clearly expressed and the source should be clearly stated.

Numbers that are of large decimal points can be rounded off so as not to confuse the audience and to make them grasp the main idea.
