If there are 40 children aged twelve and under and x of them are under three years old, 40 - x aged three twelve years old. From the 92 people that where taken by the company on whale watching trips, 52 are over twelve years old. The equation that best show the total cost, C is
(40 - x)(36) + (52)(48) = C
Rearranging the equation gives,
x = 40 - ((C - 2496)/ 36)

option 2
400 children and 600 adults bought tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Cost of one child ticket = $14
Cost of one adult ticket = $32
Total attendance = 1000
Revenue generated = $24800
Let,
x be the number of children.
y be the number of adults.
According to given statement;
x+y=1000 Eqn 1
14x+32y=24800 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 14

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

Dividing both sides by 18

Putting y=800 in Eqn 1

400 children and 600 adults bought tickets.
