An amusement park charges $7 for adults, $2 for youths, and $0.50 for children. if 150 people enter and pay a total of $100, find the numbers of adults, youths, and children. [hint: these numbers are nonnegative integers.]

Respuesta :

The number of adults are 2 . the number of youths are 8

Given charge $7 for adults , $2 for youth and $0.50 for children

Let the number of adults , youths and children be x , y and z

Now it is given that there is total pay of 100

Therefore the equation formed is

7x + 2y +0.50 = 100

Now it is also given that 150 people enter

Therefore

x+y+z=150

x+y+z =150

14x+4y+z=200

Using argument matrix

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\14&4&1\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}150\\200\end{array}\right][/tex]

Corresponding system equation is

x+y+z=150

y+(13/10)z=190

Take z = m (arbitary)

y = 190 - 1.3 m

x = 150 - y

m = 140 x = 2 and y = 8

Hence The number of adults are 2 . the number of youths are 8
