The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults. On a certain day, 281 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled $784 . How many children and how many adults were admitted?

Let c be the number of children and a be the number of adults. We have two equations:

  • a + c = 281
  • 4a + 1.5c = 784
    • Using our simultaneous equations calculator, we get:
    • a = 145
    • c = 136
