If there are 25 people and a profit of $325, we solve the system of equations to find that there were 10 children and 15 adults.

------------------------------------

For our system, we say that:

  • x is the number of children.
  • y is the number of adults.

Total of 25 people, thus:

[tex]x + y = 25 \rightarrow x = 25 - y[/tex]

Profit of $325, thus, considering that each ticket for a child costs $10 and for an adult $15:

[tex]10x + 15y = 325[/tex]

Since [tex]x = 25 - y[/tex]

[tex]10(25 - y) + 15y = 325[/tex]

[tex]5y = 75[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{75}{5}[/tex]

[tex]y = 15[/tex]

[tex]x = 25 - y = 25 - 15 = 10[/tex]

There were 10 children and 15 adults in the visit.
