Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The admission fee at a local zoo is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults.

On a certain day, 2300 people enter the zoo and $7,450.00 is collected.

Question asked:

How many children and how many adults attended?

Solution:

Let number of children enter the zoo =

Then number of adults enter the zoo =

Total collection =  $7,450

Collection from children + Collection from adults = 7450

Subtracting both sides by 9200

Minus is canceled by minus.

Dividing both sides 2.5

Number of children enter the zoo = = 700

Number of adults enter the zoo = = 2300 - 700 = 1600

Thus, 700 children and 1600 adults attended the local zoo on that day.
