Let x be the number of adults.
So the number of children = 36-x
948x + 748(36-x) = 28,648
948x + 26928 - 748x = 28648
200x = 1720
x = 8.6 , x has to be a whole number.
something wrong with this question.
"mathematically", my answer is correct
there are 8.6 adults and 27.4 children.
8.6(948) + 27.4(748) = 28648, but makes no sense in reality.
An aircraft has 36 seat available for passengers. The cost per adult is K 948.00 and K748.00 per child to fly from Port Moresby to Vanimo. A total of K28,648.00 was raised on this flight which had all seats fully sold out.
Let X be the number of adults.
¡. Write the expression for the number of adult passenger in terms of X.
¡¡.Express the total number of children in terms of X.
¡¡¡.Write the expression for the total amount of money collected using X.
¡v. Solve the equation in (¡¡¡)
v. How many children were on the flight?
