.
A+C=1175
A=1175-C
.
$5.00A+$3.50C=$5087.50
$5.00(1175-C)+$3.50C=$5087.50
$5875-$5.00C+$3.50C=$5087.50
-$1.50C=-$787.50
C=525 ANSWER 1: There were 525 children at the game.
.
A=1175-525
A=650 ANSWER 2: There were 650 adults at the games.

CHECK:
$5.00A+$3.50C=$5087.50
$5.00(650)+$3.50(525)=$5087.50
$3250+$1837.50=$5087.50
$5087.50=$5087.50

A is on x axis, C is on y axis
A+C=1175 (Red line on graph)
$5.00A+$3.50C=$5087.50 (Green line on graph)
