Answer:
The number of adult is 19 and number of children is 11
Solution:
Given that there were total 30 passengers.
Let the number of adult be x.
Therefore, number of children = 30-x
It is given that the fare for adult = 50$
The fare for x adults will be [tex]50 \times (x)[/tex]
It is also given that the fare for children is 25$
The fare for (30-x) children = [tex]25 \times (30-x)[/tex]
Now according to the question, 30 passengers paid $1225
50x + 25(30-x) = 1225
50x + 750 - 25x = 1225
25x = 1225-750
25x = 475
[tex]x = \frac{475}{25}[/tex]
x = 19
Therefore number of adult = 19
Number of children = 30-19 = 11
From the given below equations, 25x + 50x = 30(1225) cannot be used to solve the problem.
