Answer 1

259 children and 322 adults swam at the public pool that day

Equation

Equation is an expression which is used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the number of children and let y be the number of adults.

581 people used the public swimming pool. Hence:

• x + y = 581   (1)

The receipts for admission totaled $1048.25. Hence:

• 1.25x + 2.25y = 1048.25    (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 259, y = 322

259 children and 322 adults swam at the public pool that day
