Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children = c

The number of adults = a

Total people = 528

c + a = 528   ------------------------(I)

Total price  = $ 985

1.25c + 2.25a = 985 ---------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by (-1.25).

(I)*(-1.25)      -1.25c - 1.25a =  - 660

(II)                1.25c + 2.25a = 985  {add, c will be eliminated}

                                       a =  325

Number of adults = 325

Plugin the value of a in equation (I)

c + 325 = 528

         c = 528 - 325

         c = 203

Number of children = 203
