Question

Age Ticket Price
Under 3 years free
3 to 12 years $36
Over 12 years $48
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 people total.
(92 − x)36 + (92 − 40) ⋅ 48 = C
(40 + x)36 + (92 − (40 + x)) ⋅ 48 = C
(92 + x)36 + (92 − (40 + x))

Answer 1

92 People -- 40 are 12 or under , and so 52 are older than 12

Answer 2

The total Money = $48 * 52 + $36 * (# of the 40 that are 3 to 12)

Answer 3

I'm still very, very confused, sorry.

Answer 4

yeah i am looking at something

there are 40 total people under 12 yrs old,
of those 40, x of them are under 3 ,

x kids under 3
(40 - x) kids in the 3-12
52 adult 12 and up

i don't think those awnswers look right

Answer 5

I have absolutely no idea what so ever.

Answer 6

(92 − x)36 + (92 − 40) ⋅ 48 = C

would be right if the first 92 was a 40 instead

Answer 7

(40 - x) kids have to pay 36 dollars
and
the rest are adults (92-40) or 52 people have to pay 48 dollars per tickets

Answer 8

I am still lost, my apologizes.
