Answer provided by our tutors
let
c = the number of children attending the fair
a = the number of adults attending the fair
On a certain day 2,000 people enter the fair and $5,050 is collected:
c + a = 2000
1.50c + 4.00a = 5050
by solving the above system of equations we find:
c = 1,180 children
a = 820 adults
