How many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that day?
HD

children's: 111 and adults: 62

Explanation:

make equations:

x + y → 173    [ this was from total people ]

1.5x + 2.25y → $306   [ this was from cost ]

try to make x the subject:

x + y → 173

x → 173 - y ______equation 1

1.5x + 2.25y → $306

1.5x → 306 - 2.25y

x → __________equation 2

solve them simultaneously:

= 173 - y

306 - 2.25y = 259.5 - 1.5y

-2.25 + 1.5y = 259.5 - 306

-0.75y = -46.5

y = 62

so there were total 62 adults that day in the public swimming pool.

find children's using:

x → 173 - y

x → 173 - 62

x → 111

so there were total 111 children's  that day in the public swimming pool.

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)
