500 people attend the opening day of an amusement park. Ticket prices are $8 for children and $10 for adults. If total revenue for both is $4082, how many children and adults attended the event?
1. Model with equations: x = number of adults y = number of children x+y = 500 10x+8y = 4082 2. Solve through systems of equations: (elimination method, multiple first equation by -10 to eliminate x variable) -10x-10y = -5000 10x+8y = 4082 3. Add equations together and solve for y: -2y = -918 y= 459 4. Plug y value back into the first equation and solve for x: x+459= 500 x=41 ANSWER: 41 adults and 459 children
