On a certain day, the company took 88 people on whale watching trips. There were 44 children aged twelve and under, of which some children were under three years. If x represents the number of children under three years, which equation can be used to find the value of x, where C represents the total amount of money collected from tickets that day?

(44 + x)35 + (88 – (44 + x)) ∙ 46 = C

(88 - x)35 + (88 – 44) ∙ 46 = C

(44 – x)35 + (88 – 44) ∙ 46 = C

(88 + x)35 + (88 – (44 + x)) ∙ 46 = C
Please explain why?
