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!!!!
