On a certain hot summer's day, 459 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.50 for children and $2.00 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $847.00. How many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that day?

let there be x children and (481-x) adults.

1.25x +2.25(481-x) = 865.25

1.25x +1082.25 -2.25x =865.25

x= 217

so 217 children and 481-217 = 264 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
