Question

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

Answer 1

Well looking at this, you can see the of the 90 people, it is only 40 that are under 12, so the 3 and under, or x, will come out of the 40

(40-x)

And then that will give you the number of tickets to multiply by 36 to get the cost of the children.

(40 - x)36

Now, 92 - 40 = 52. and that is what you would multiply by the cost of an adult ticket

(92 - 40)48

to find the total cost, add them together.

(40 - x)36 + (92 - 40)48 = C
