The cost for 2 adults and 5 children to eat at the local buffet restaurant is \$46.50 . The cost for 1 adult and 1 child is $15. What is the cost of a child's meal ?

Answer:

c = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 a + 5 c = 46.50

a + c = 15

a = 15 - c

2(15-c ) +5c = 46.50

30 - 2c +5c = 46.5

3c = 16.5

c = 5.5

Let a be the adults and c be the children.

For the first equation there are 2 adults and 5 children so the equation is:-

2a + 5c = 46.50

And for the second equation there is 1 adult and 1 child. So the equation is:-

a + c = 15

a = 15 - c

You take this formula and substitute it to the above formula (2a + 5c = 46.50)

➡️ 2a + 5c = 46.50

➡️ 2(15 - c) + 5c = 46.50

➡️ 30 -2c + 5c = 46.50

➡️ 5c - 2c = 46.50 - 30
(You collect like terms)

➡️ 3c = 16.5

➡️ c = 16.5/3

➡️ c = 5.5
