Question

there are 370 people attending a concert. each adult paid $5 admission and each child paid $2. if $1220 was received for admission,, how many adults and how many children attended the concert?

Answer 1

Let A = the number of adults attending the concert
Let C = the number of children attending the concert

So, 1) A + C = 370

The amount of money made from adults is 5*A
The amount of money made from children is 2*C

So, 2) 5A + 2C = 1220

Answer 2

Your task is to solve the two simultaneous equations for the variables A and C:

1) A + C = 370

2) 5A + 2C = 1220
