a group of people pay $720 admission at an amusement park. Thad adult tickets were $15 and children tickets were $8. there are 25 more adults then children how many children are in the group

number of children --- x

number of adults ------ x + 25

solve for x:

8x + 15(x+25) = 720

let me know what you get.

Nothing

To solve this problem, we need to set up equations based on the given information.

Let's represent the number of children in the group as 'c'. Since there are 25 more adults than children, the number of adults in the group would be 'c + 25'.

Now, we can set up an equation based on the total admission paid: $720. We know that the cost of each adult ticket is $15 and each child ticket is $8.

The equation can be written as:

15(c + 25) + 8c = 720

Let's solve this equation step by step:

1. Distribute 15 to both 'c' and '25':
15c + 375 + 8c = 720

2. Combine like terms on the left side:
23c + 375 = 720

3. Subtract 375 from both sides to isolate 'c':
23c = 345

4. Divide both sides by 23 to solve for 'c':
c = 345 / 23

Calculating this, we find:
c ≈ 15

Therefore, there are approximately 15 children in the group.
