The table below shows the ticket rates for whale watching trips offered by Ocean Tours:

Age	Ticket Price
Under 3 years	free
3 to 12 years	$36
Over 12 years	$48

On a certain day, the company took 92 people on whale watching trips. There were 40 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?

(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

Okay altogether 92 people

40 kids were 12 or under...and some were 3 and under

x = # of kids under 3 so

(40 - x)36 would be the cost for the kids under 12 but OVER 3...

(92 - 40)48 would be the amount for adults...minus kids...

Putting that all together we have

(40 - x)36 + (92 - 40)48 = C
