Answer:

112 children

180 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adults = A

Let the number of children = C

A + C =292

4A + 1.5C = 888. solve for A, C

A = 292 - C

4[292 - C] + 1.5C = 888

1,168 - 4C + 1.5C = 888

-2.5C = - 280

C = -280 / -2.5

C = 112 - Number of children

292 - 112 = 180 - Number of adults
