Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of children be x and adults be y

APQ, 15.5x+20y=3782..........(multiply by 10)

         155x+200y=37820.........(EQUATION 1)

Also x+y=217

        x=217-y.........(equation 2)

substitute x in equation 1

        (217-y)155 +200y=37820

        33635 -155y +200y=37820

        33635 +45y =37280

          45y =37280-33635

          45y=3645

               y=81

sub y in equation 2

       x=217-81

       x=136    

therefore the number of adults =81

                                      children=136

  the pair is (136,81)

Hope this helps you!!!!
