Answer: Children = 108
Adult = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of children
Let y = number of adult
Based on the information given, we can form an equation which will be:
x + y = 160 ........ i
2x + 5y = 476 ........ ii
Multiply equation i by 2
Multiply equation ii by 1
2x + 2y = 320 ....... iii
2x + 5y = 476 ........ iv
Subtract iii from iv
3y = 156
y = 52
Number of adults = 52
Since x + y = 160
x + 52 =160
x = 160 - 52
x = 108
Number of children = 108
