A group of 30 tourists pay a total of $120 to enter a park. Each adult is charged $5, and each child is charged $2. Write a system of equations that can be used to determine the admission price to the park of an adult (A)and a child (C).
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Equation: A+C = 30 tickets
\n" ); document.write( "AND
\n" ); document.write( "Value Equation:::: 5A+2C = 120 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Then, how many children (C) and in the group?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination::
\n" ); document.write( "5A + 5C = 5*30
\n" ); document.write( "5A + 2C = 120
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"C\"::
\n" ); document.write( "3C = 30
\n" ); document.write( "C = 10 (# of child tickets sold)
\n" ); document.write( "============================
