Question

Please help!


On a certain day, the company took 88 people on whale watching trips. There were 44 children aged 12 and under, of which some children were under 3 years. If x represents the number of children under 3 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?

age tickets
under 3 years free
3 to 12 years $35
over 12 years $46

a. (44+x)35+[88-(44+x)] * 46 = c
b. (44-x)35+(88-44)*46=c
c. (88+x)35+[88-(44+x)] *46 = c

Answer 5

There was 44 children and x is the number of kids under 3, 44-x
35 is the price for 3 to12, (44-x)35
88 people total and 1/2 were kids under 12 so the other half is over 12, 88-44
The price for people over 12 is 46, (88-44)46
(44-x)35+(88-44)46=c
