Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 29 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

child = c = $5.8

adult = a= $9.10

adults = 4 children

Process

                          9.1 a + 5.8 c = 1223.80

Substitution

                          9.1(4c) + 5.8c = 1223.80

                          36.4 c + 5.8c = 1223.8

                           42.2c = 1223.8

                           c = 1223.8 / 42.2

                           c = 29

adults

                           adults = 4(29)

                           adults = 116
