 on a certain hot summer's day, 622 people used the public swimming pool. the daily prices are $ 1.75 for children and $ 2.50 for adults. the receipts for admission totaled $ 1375.00.  how many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that day? 22 points

240 children and 382 adult swam at the public pool that day

Solution:

Let "c" be the number of childrens

Let "a" be the number of adults

Cost of 1 child ticket = $ 1.75

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $ 2.50

622 people used the public swimming pool

Therefore,

number of childrens + number of adults = 622

c + a = 622 ------ eqn 1

The receipts for admission totaled $ 1375.00

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

number of childrens x Cost of 1 child ticket + number of adults x Cost of 1 adult ticket = 1375.00

1.75c + 2.50a = 1375 ----- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

c = 622 - a -------- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

1.75(622 - a) + 2.50a = 1375

1088.5 - 1.75a + 2.50a = 1375

0.75a = 1375 - 1088.5

0.75a = 286.5

a = 382

Substitute a = 382 in eqn 3

c = 622 - 382

c = 240

Thus 240 children and 382 adult swam at the public pool that day

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
