Question 25978: the taylor family has a turnout of 38 people. they decidedd to go ice skating instead of having a picnic. admission for the group cost $134.00. How many adults and how many children were at the reunion?
prices
adults 4.00
kids 3.00 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let number of adults be "x"
The number of kids is "38-x"
Cost of adult tickets is 4x
Cost of kids tickets is 3(38-x)
EQUATION:
Cost + Cost = $134
4x+3(38-x)=134
4x+114-3x=134
x=20 (number of adults)
38-x=18 (number of Kids)
Cheers,
