The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the number of adults and children who attended the circus show, we can set up a system of equations based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( x \) = number of adults - \( y \) = number of children ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations From the problem, we have two key pieces of information: 1. The total number of persons (adults + children) is 1250. 2. The total collection from ticket sales is 61250 Rs. From this, we can create the following equations: 1. \( x + y = 1250 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 75x + 25y = 61250 \) (Equation 2) ### Step 3: Simplify Equation 2 To make calculations easier, we can simplify Equation 2. We can divide the entire equation by 25: \[ 3x + y = 2450 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] ### Step 4: Solve the System of Equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( x + y = 1250 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 3x + y = 2450 \) (Equation 3) We can subtract Equation 1 from Equation 3: \[ (3x + y) - (x + y) = 2450 - 1250 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x = 1200 \] Dividing both sides by 2 gives: \[ x = 600 \] ### Step 5: Find the Number of Children Now that we have the number of adults, we can find the number of children using Equation 1: \[ y = 1250 - x = 1250 - 600 = 650 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the number of adults is 600 and the number of children is 650. ### Final Answer: - Number of Adults: 600 - Number of Children: 650
