HELP ME PLZZZ!!<3
in this problem determine which equation best represents the problem.
The admission fee at a small fair is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults. On a certain day, 2200 people enter the fair and $5050 is collected. how many children and how many adults attended?
which set of equations would you use to set up this problem?
A:4a+c=2200
a+1.5c=5050

B: a+1.5c=5050
4a+c=5050

C: a+c=5050
4a+c=2200

D: a+c=2200
4a+1.5c=5050

Answer 2

ok....we have adults and children entering....there a total of 2200 people entering
a + c = 2200

child tickets cost 1.50 and adult tickets cost 4.....total collected was 5050
1.5c + 4a = 5050 -- can also be 4a + 1.5c = 5050

when doing problems such as these, be sure you do not get the money mixed up with the attendance.
