Let
\n" ); document.write( "x - be the fare of the teacher
\n" ); document.write( "x/2 - be the fare of the child\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "120(x/2)+15(x)=180
\n" ); document.write( "60x+15x=180
\n" ); document.write( "75x=180
\n" ); document.write( "x= ghc 2.4; be the fare of the teacher
\n" ); document.write( "x/2= ghc 1.2; be the fare of the child\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let
\n" ); document.write( "y -be the number of child to go to the excursion with 20 teachers and a total fare of ghc 240
\n" ); document.write( "1.2(y)+2.4(20) = 240
\n" ); document.write( "1.2y+48 = 240
\n" ); document.write( "1.2y = 192
\n" ); document.write( "y = 160 students; will to go to the excursion with 20 teachers and a total fare of ghc 240\r
