Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let x be the number of adults. Then the number of children is x + 41. The number of senior citizens is 757 - x - (x + 41) = 716 - 2x. The total revenue is 22x + 12(716 - 2x) + 7(x + 41) = 10,134. Solving for x gives x = 153. Therefore, the number of children is x + 41 = 153 + 41 = 244.
