Question
Answer:
Answer:The number of children attending = 324The number of adults attending  = 176.Step-by-step explanation:Here, the total number of people attending = 500Let us assume the umber of children attending the breakfast = mSo, the number of adults attending the breakfast = 500 - mCost of ticket for each children  = $12.95So, the cost of m children's tickets = m x ( Cost of 1 children ticket) =  m x ( $12.95)  = 12.95 m .... (1)Cost of ticket for each adult  = $17.95So, the cost of (500 -m)  adults's tickets = (500 - m) x ( Cost of 1 adult ticket)    = (500 -m) x ( $17.95)    = 8,975 - 17.95 m     .... (2)Now, the total earnings from the total ticket sold = $7355So, The earning from ( Adult's + children's tickets)  = $7355⇒  12.95 m  +  8,975 - 17.95 m = $7355or, - 5 m = 7355 - 8975 =   -1620or, m = 1620/5 = 324⇒  m =324Hence the number of children attending =  m = 324The number of adults attending = 500 - m = 500 - 324 = 176.
