Question

The table below shows the ticket rates for whale watching trips offered by Ocean Tours.
Age Ticket Price
Under three years free
Three to twelve years $36
Over twelve years $48
On a certain day, the company took 92 people on whale watching trips. There were 40 children aged twelve and under, of which some children were under three years. If x represents the number of children undr 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?

Answer 1

(92 − x)36 + (92 − 40) ∙ 48 = C

(40 + x)36 + (92 − (40 + x)) ∙ 48 = C

(92 + x)36 + (92 − (40 + x)) ∙ 48 = C

(40 − x)36 + (92 − 40) ∙ 48 = C

Answer 2

40(36) + 52(48)=C Answer 3,936 dollars total money
