Over 12 years $46

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?

(44 + x)35 + (88 − (44 + x)) ⋅ 46 = C
(88 − x)35 + (88 − 44) ⋅ 46 = C
(44 − x)35 + (88 − 44) ⋅ 46 = C
(88 + x)35 + (88 − (44 + x)) ⋅ 46 = C
