Answer:102 children and 337 adults swam at the publice pool that da

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of children be x

and

the number of adults be y

such that the total number of people who came to use the public swimming pool be expressed as

x + y = 439----- Equation 1

and price  for swimming be expressed as

1.75x + 2.50y =1021----- Equation 2

Step 2

x + y = 439----- Equation 1

1.75x + 2.50y =1021----- Equation 2

First make x the subject formulae and put in equation 2

x= 439-y

1.75 (430-y) + 2.50y = 1021

Solving gives

768.25-1.75y+2.50y=1021

2.50y-1.75y=1021-768.25

0.75y=252.75

y =252.75/0.75  

y=337

To find x, put the value of y = 337 in equation 1

x+y= 439

x= 439-337

x=102

Therefore 102 children and 337 adults swam at the public pool that day

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{n}{85}= \frac{34}{170}

n · 170 = 34 · 85

170y = 2890

170y ÷ 170 = 2890 ÷ 170
