Question 41511: Hello!
Can anyone help please?
My question is:
At a local village gala, the entire population turned up, 500 people. The event raised £3,000. Tickets were priced as follows: £7.48 men, £7.12 women and £0.45 children. How many children were there?
I know the answer is 92 but I don't know how to work it out.
Thanks

Number of Men = m
Number of Women = w
Number of Children = c
Equations:
m + w + c = 500
7.48m + 7.12w + 0.45c = 3000
You need more information for another equation.
