Hi,

The admission fee at a county fair is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults.

 On a particular day, 2200 people enter the fair and $5050 is collected. 

How many childrenhighlight%28x%29 and how many adultshighlight%28y%29 attended? 

Question states***

 y + x = 2200  0r  x+=+2200-y

4.00y + 1.50x = $5050

 4y + 1.5(2200-y) = 5050

         2.5y = 1750  

            y = 700 , the number of adult tickets, children 1500

and...

4%2A700+%2B+1.50%2A1500+=+5050
