The number of children attended the fair is 1520.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Entry fee foe children = $1.50

Entry fee foe adult = $4.00

Total number of people in fair = 2200

Total money collected = $5000

Let x be the number of children and y be the number of adults in the fair.

Then, we can write the following equations:

Solving the two equations, we have:

Thus, there were 1520 children and 680 adults in the fair.
