The jurassic zoo charges $5 for adults and $3 for children, the total bill for 104 from a school trip was $370. How many adults and how many children?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Let the number of Adults be: x
Let the number of children be : y
Equation (1) : 
x + y = 104 

Why? Because that's the total number of people who went to the zoo.

Equation (2):
5x + 3y = 370

Why? Because $5 is charged for every adult and $3 is charged for every child. And the total amount is 370.

 Solve both the equations.
Can you do it, now?
