PLEASE HELP ASAP
A community center serves a large Thanksgiving dinner for people in need. 100 people attend the dinner, and 80 pounds of turkey are eaten. The organizers estimate that each adult eats 1 pound of turkey and each child eats 1/2 pound of turkey. How many adults and how many children attended the dinner? Use a system of equations to solve.

Answer 1

Answer:

100 - 80 = 20

So 20lbs of turkey was eaten by kids, which means 60lbs was eaten by the adults

20 × 2 = 40

There are 40 kids

60 × 1 = 60

There are 60 adults
