Question

the admission fee at a small fair is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults. On a certain day, $5,050 is collected. if 1,000 adults attended the fair, write and solve a linear equation to find the number of children that attended.

Answer 1

I don't know what linear means, but if there were 1000 adults, that would be $4,000. That would leave $1,050 for the children. If we divide 1,050 by 1.50, that would show how many children are there. That gives us 700, so there would be 700 children. Use this info to make an equation.
