Answer: There are 69 adults and 72 children went to the concert.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of adults, and y be the number of children.

x + y = 141

3.5x + 2.5y = 421.5

x + y =141

x = 141 - y

3.5(141 - y) + 2.5y = 421.5

493.5 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 421.5

493.5 - y = 421.5

-y = -72

y = 72

x + y = 141

x + 72 = 141

x = 69

Veseljchak [2.6K]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>(i) Percentage of lemonade = \frac{64}{356} (100) = 17.98 %</h2><h2>(ii) Percentage of grape juice = \frac{32}{356} (100) = 8.99 %</h2><h2>(iii) Percentage of honey = \frac{4}{356} (100) = 1.12 %</h2><h2>(iv) Percentage of sparkling water = \frac{256}{356} (100) = 71.91%</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

By unit conversion,

1 cup = 16 table spoons

1 quart = 64 table spoons

1 gallon = 256 table spoons

1 quart of lemonade = 64 table spoons

2 cups of grape juice = 16 * 2 = 32 table spoons

4 tablespoons of honey = 4 table spoons

1 gallon of sparkling water = 256 table spoons.

Total quantity in table spoons = 64 + 32 + 4 + 256 = 356 table spoons

(i) Percentage of lemonade = \frac{64}{356} (100) = 17.98 %

(ii) Percentage of grape juice = \frac{32}{356} (100) = 8.99 %

(iii) Percentage of honey = \frac{4}{356} (100) = 1.12 %

(iv) Percentage of sparkling water = \frac{256}{356} (100) = 71.91%
