How many adults and children went to museum

___children
___adults


Sagot :

c = children
a = adults

12c + 15a = 33456 (price)
c + a = 2450 (people)
c = 2450 - a (rewrite^)

12(2450 - a) + 15a = 33456 (substitute into the price equation)
29400 - 12a + 15a = 33456
3a = 4056
a = 1352

c = 2450 - (1352)
c = 1098

1098 children
1352 adults
