Miami metro zoo charges $11.50 for adult admission and $6.75 for children under 12. The total bill before tax for school group of 60 people is $443. How many adults and how many children were admitted?

8 teachers and 52 students attended the Miami Metro Zoo

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=60

11.5x+6.75y=443

11.5 (60-y) + 6.75y=443

690-11.5y+6.75y=443

-4.75y=-247

y=52

x + (52) = 60

x=8

CHECK:

11.5 (8) + 6.75 (52) = 443

(8) + (52) = 60
