The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults. On a certain day, 376 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled 1,064.00 dollars. How many children and how many adults were admitted?
***
let x=number of adults admitted
376-x=number of children admitted
4x+1.5(376-x)=1064
4x+564-1.5x=1064
2.5x=1064-564=500
x=200
376-x=176
number of adults admitted=200
number of children admitted=176
