The correct way to write this equation is .25x-3=12. The .25 is interchangeable with $\frac{1}{4}$

Start first with the coefficient of x, which will be 1/4 as you want to find 1/4 of x. Now, minus 3 to that to give you 3 fewer than 1/4x. You know this equates to 12, so your expression is:
1/4x - 3 = 12
Or you can write it like this if you want to use brackets:
1/4(x-12)=12

liberstina [14]

Answer:

188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

Total $862 collected on a certain day when 333 people enter the park.

Now, to find the children and adults admitted in the park.

Let the number of children admitted be $x.$

And the the number of adults admitted be $y.$

So, the total people enter the park:

$x+y=333\\\\x=333-y\ \ \ ...(1)$

Thus, the total amount collected of the admission fee:

$1.50(x)+4(y)=862\\\\$

Substituting the value of $x$ from equation (1):

$1.50(333-y)+4(y)=862\\\\499.50-1.50y+4y=862\\\\499.50+2.50y=862\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 499.50\ we\ get:\\\\2.50y=362.50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2.50\ we\ get:\\\\y=145.$

Thus, the number of adults = 145.

Now, to get the number of children by substituting the value of $y$ in equation (1) we get:

$x=333-y\\\\x=333-145\\\\x=188.$

Hence, the number of children = 188.

Therefore, 188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.
