Question 973779: 42 people go to apark. The admission fee for adults is 16and the children is 12.they spend $568 all together how many adults are there
Answer by JulietG(1812)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If all 42 were adults, the revenue would be 42*16 = $672
The actual revenue is $568, a difference of $104.
The difference in the fee for adults and children is 16-12, or 4.
104 divided by 4 = 26
Therefore, there are 26 children @ $12 ($312) and 42-26, or 16 adults @ $16 ($256). $256+312 = $568
