Respuesta :

The cost of 1 adult for the given games using the various parameters to create a simultaneous equation gives; $8

How to create simultaneous equations?

Let cost of adults be x and let cost of kids be y.

Now,  there were 7 adults and 20 kids at Pump and Jump Land and the cash collected was $236. Thus, we can say that;

7x + 20y = 236    -----(1)

Similarly, there were 21 adults and 50 kids for a total amount of $618. Thus;

21x + 50y = 618   -----(2)

Solving both equations simultaneously gives;

x = $8 and y = $9

Thus, cost of 1 adult = $8
