Answer 1

Answer:

475 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Admission price in a fair is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

          Amount collected one day is $5050

          2100 children paid the admission price.

As given 2100 children have paid the admission price.

∴ Amount of price paid by children = $number\ of\ children \times prices\ per\ child$

∴ Amount of price paid by children = $2100\times 1.5 = \ 3150$

Now, finding the amount collected from adults.

Amount collected from adults = $Total\ collection - amount\ collected\ from\ children$

∴ Amount collected from adults= $5050 - 3150 = \ 1900$

Next, finding the number of adults that paid admission.

∴ Number of adult = $\frac{Amount\ collected\ from\ adult}{price\ per\ adult}$

Number of adult = $\frac{1900}{4} = 475\ adults$

∴ Total number of adults who paid the admission is 475.
