<PRE><B>Question 1025166</B>
Hi there,
Number of children = x
Number of adults = y
x + y = 341......(1)
3.50x + 6.00y = 1606.......(2)
Multiply Eq(1) by 6
6x + 6y = 2046.....(1)
3.5x + 6.00y = 1606.....(2)
Subtract Eq(2) from Eq(1)
2.5x = 440
x = 176
Substitute x = 176 in Eq(1)
x + y = 341.....(1)
176 + y = 341
y = 341 - 176
y = 165.
Number of children admitted = 176
Number of adults admitted = 165
Hope this helps :-)</PRE>
