Question 1080448: As the treasurer of her daughter's Girl Scout troop, Laney collected money for some girls and adults to go to a 3–day camp. Each girl paid $75 and each adult paid $25. The total amount of money collected for camp was $750. If the number of girls is three times the number of adults, how many girls and how many adults paid for camp Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n and 3n be the amount of adults and girls, respectively. Then:
25n+75(3n)=750
250n=750
n=3
There were 3 adults and 9 girls paying for camp. ☺☺☺☺
