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?
@magbak

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

Think about it.
(92-40) represent the amount of student over 12. Since 40 represent 12 years old and less.
Now you multiply that by 48 to get the cost. Make sense?
