Swimming Pool On a certain hot summer's day, 492 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.50 for children and $2.50 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $1060.00. How many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that day?

There were ______ children at the public pool.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

# of children = 170, # of Adults = 492 - 170 = 322

Step-by-step explanation:

Define C and A as

C = # of children

A = # of adults

Then,

A + C = 492

1.5C + 2.5A = 1060, so that

1.5C + 2.5(492 - C) = 1060

1.5C + 1230 - 2.5C = 1060

-C = 1060 - 1230

C = 170
