child and 26 rupees for an adult. 740 rupees was got from 50 person. how many children among them? ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of adults=x

total person = 50

number of children=50-x

amount collected on children's ticket= 10(50-x)= 500-10x

amount collected on adults= 26x

total amount= 26x+500-10x= 740(given)

16x+500= 740

16x= 740-500

16x= = 240

x= 240/16= 15

number of adults= 15

number of children= 50-15= 35
