Answer provided by our tutors
let
a = the number of adult
c = the number of children
2400 people entered the park and the admission fees collected totaled $5200
a + c = 2400
1.50a + 3.50c = 5200
by solving the system of equations
a + c = 2400
1.50a + 3.50c = 5200
we find
a = 1600 adults
c = 800 children
