A fair charged $2.50 admission for adults and a dollar for children. The receipts for 1 day were $1951 on 1300 paid admissions. How many adults attended the fair that day?

2.50a + 1.00(1300-a) = 1951

Answer 5

Yup! This is correct!

You could also do :

x + y = 1300
x-2.5 +y = 1951
Subtract
1.5x = 651
x = 434

Answer 6

Yeah it is because the equation would be:

2.5x+1*(1300-x)=1951 When you solve it and substitute the variables, you should get 434
