The table below shows the ticket rates for whale watching trips offered by Orca Magic Tours:


Age	Ticket Price
Under 3 years	free
3 to 12 years	$32
Over 12 years	$44

On a certain day, the company took 82 people on whale watching trips. There were 54 children aged 12 and under, of which some children were under 3 years. If x represents the number of children under three 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?

Sounds as though you're given several equations involving ticket costs and numbers of people in three different age groups.  If so, aren't you going to share them with the rest of us?

x represents the number of children under 3 years of age.  Then which algebraic expressions represent the numbers (a) of children 3 to 12 years old) and (b) of people oler than 12?
