214 people used a public swimming pool. $1.50 for kids and $2.25 for adults. the receipt totaled to $390 how many children and how many adults went the the public pool that day?

the number of kids that used the public pool that day is 122

the number of adults that used the public pool that day is 92

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of kids that used the public pool that day.

Let y represent the number of adults that used the public pool that day.

214 people used a public swimming pool. This means that

x + y = 214

1.50 for kids and $2.25 for adults. The receipt totaled to $390. This means that

1.5x + 2.25y = 390 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 214 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.5x

1.5(214 - y) + 2.25y = 390

321 - 1.5y + 2.25y = 390

- 1.5y + 2.25y = 390 - 321

0.75y = 69

y = 69/0.75 = 92

Substituting y = 92 into x = 214 - y, it becomes

x = 214 - 92 = 122

answer: slight chance that it will happen
