The admission fee at a water park is $9 for children and $15 for adults. On a certain day, 220 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled $2640. How many children and
how many adults were admitted? Let x represent the number of children and y represent the
number of adults.
Total Equation:
Cost Equation:
The number of children admitted was
The number of adults admitted was

You basically want to write the total number of people using x and y for children and adults, and then write the cost function using the values you know for the ticket prices. next, you want to want to rearrange your total people equation so that you can write either x in terms of y or y in terms of x. finally, you can plug that into your cost equation and solve. (you then use the rearranged total people equation to solve for the other variable).

hope this helps :)
