Answer 1

Answer:

744

Step-by-step explanation:

x ×0.75 + (2500-x )× 0.25 = 1503

0.75x + 625 - 0.25x = 1503

0.5x = 878 => x = 8780/5 = 1756

children saw the fair

= 2500 - 1756 = 744

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$x+y=2500$

$0.75x+0.25y=1503$

solving this:

$x=1756$

$y=744$

and it is $744$
