hello
cost of the adult tickets = $85
cost of children ticket = $75
let the number of adults be represented by x
let the number of children be represented by y
total number of children that attended = 14
total number of adults that attended = ?
total amount spent on ticket = $1,475
[tex]\begin{gathered} 85x+75y=1475 \\ y\text{ = 14} \\ \text{let's put y into the equation above} \\ 85x+75(14)=1475 \\ 85x+1050=1475 \\ 85x=1475-1050 \\ 85x=425 \\ \text{divide both sides by 85} \\ \frac{85x}{85}=\frac{425}{85} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]only 5 adults went on the trip
