It costs $3 for children and $7 for adults to attend a school basketball game. If 5000 people attended the game and the total takings at the door was $25000, determine the number of children and the number of adults that attended the game, using simultaneous elimination.

The number of children is 2500 and the number of adults that attended the game is also 2500.

Let us consider that, number of children be x and number of adults be y that attend game.

Since, total 5000 people attend the game.

It costs $3 for children and $7 for adults and the total takings at the door was $25000

Substitute value of x from equation 1 into equation 2.

So that,

Thus, the number of children is 2500 and the number of adults that attended the game is also 2500.
