Agroup of 42 people went to an amusement park. the admission fee for adults is $16. the admission fee for children is $12. the group spent $568 to get into the park. how many adults and how many children were in the group?

There are 16 adults and 26 children If you do 26 time 12 you get 312 so keep 312 in your mind and time 16 by 16 you should get 256 so now we have both numbers so you can add them together and get 568 So your answer is 16 adult and 26 children.

both equations and proportions are better.
