the admmission fee in a certain show is R5 for children and R12 for adults. on a certain day, 120 people attended the show and R1363 was collected. how many children and how many adults attended the show on this day

let x be the no of chidren
120-x be the no of adults
so 5x + (120-x)* 12 = 1363
solving this x = 11
no of children = 11
adults = 109
