Let the number of children = x
\n" ); document.write( "And the number of adults = y
\n" ); document.write( "Total number x+y = 2,200 ...(1)
\n" ); document.write( "Total collection 1.5x+4y=5050 ...(2)
\n" ); document.write( "(1)*4=> 4x+4y = 8,800 ...(3)
\n" ); document.write( "(3)-(2)=> 2.5 x = 3,750
\n" ); document.write( " x = 3750/2.5
\n" ); document.write( " x = 1500
\n" ); document.write( "(1)=> 1500+y=2200
\n" ); document.write( "y=2200-1500
\n" ); document.write( "y=700
\n" ); document.write( "So, the number of children = 1500
\n" ); document.write( "And the number of adults = 700
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
