Answer:

Number of adults that attended the show = 400

Number of children that attended the show = 359

Total people who attended the show = 759

Step-by-step explanation:

Total earned = 15,385

Adults = $25

Children = $15

Let

Adults = A

Children = C

The number of adults who attendee the show was 41 more than the number of children who attended the show

A = C + 41

25A + 15C = 15,385

Substitute

A = C + 41

25(C+41) + 15C = 15,385

25C + 1,025 + 15C = 15,385

40C + 1,025 = 15,385

40C = 15,385 - 1,025

40C = 14,360

Divide both sides by 40

C = 14,360 / 40

= 359

C = 359

Substitute C = 359 into

A = C + 41

A = 359 + 41

= 400

A = 400

Number of adults that attended the show = 400

Number of children that attended the show = 359

Total people who attended the show = 759
