On a certain hot summer's day, 195 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.75 for children and $2.25 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $383.75. How many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that day?

3x-x+2=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Children = x

Adults = y

x + y = 754...1

1.50x + 2.25y = 1422...2

Multiply (1) by 2.25

2.25x + 2.25y = 1696.50...3

1.50x + 2.25y = 1422...2

Subtract (2) from (3)

0.75x = 274.50

x = 366

Substitute x = 366 in (1)

x + y = 754

366 + y = 754

y = 388

366 children and 388 adults swam at the pool.
