tour busload of 45 people attended two Florida theme parks on successive days. On Day 1 the entrance fee was $15 per adult, $8 per child, $12 per senior citizen and the total charge was $558. On Day 2 the entrance fee was $20 per adult, $12 per child, $17 per senior citizen and the total charge was $771. How many adults, children, and senior citizens were on this tour bus

Sagot :

Answer: There are 22 adults , 12 children and 11 senior citizens on the tour bus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let adult = x

children = y

senior citizen = z

Given : Total busload (x+ y + z) = 45

Total charge on day 1 = 558 $ = [tex]15\times x+8\times y+12\times z[/tex]

Total charge on day 2 = 771 $ =  [tex]20\times x+12\times y+17\times z[/tex]

Now we have 3 equations : x+ y+z =45

[tex]15\times x+8\times y+12\times z=558[/tex]

[tex]20\times x+12\times y+17\times z=771[/tex]

Solving for them we get: x= 22 , y = 12 and z= 11

Thus there are 22 adults , 12 children and 11 senior citizens.
