The admission fee at the steamboat springs hot air balloon festival is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults. On a certain day, 1,130 enter 5)3 festival and 2, 520 is collected. Given , = number of child tickets and a= the number of adult tickets. How many children and how many adults attended?

Number of child tickets =  800

Number of adult tickets = 330

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = number of child tickets

and  a= the number of adult tickets.

We are given:

The admission fee at the steamboat springs hot air balloon festival is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults.

On a certain day, 1,130 enter the festival and 2, 520 is collected.

Making equations:

(because total people entered are 1130, so adding number of adult and child tickets will give us total number of people)

 (because total money collected is 2520, so adding coat of adult and child tickets will give us total money)

Now, solving these equations simultaneously, we can find values of x and y

Let:

From equation 1 find value of c and put it in eq(2)

Putting value of c in eq(2)

So, we get value of a = 330

Now, punting value of a in eq(1) to get value of c

So, we get value of c = 800

Therefore:

Number of child tickets = c= 800

Number of adult tickets = a = 330
