Answer:

The answer to your question is there were 88 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total number of people = 188

total cost = $5040

12 more adults than seniors

number of children = ?

adults = a

children = c

Process

1.- Write equations that help to solve this problem

             a + c = 188              Equation l

             a = c + 12                 Equation ll

2.- Solve by substitution. Substitute equation equation ll in equation l

           (c + 12) + c = 188

-Solve for c

            c + 12 + c = 188

            2c + 12 = 188

            2c = 188 - 12

            2c = 176

              c = 176 / 2

              c = 88

3.- Conclusion

There were 88 children

kati45 [8]

Answer:

B is 50° and C is 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

complementary angle

x+x=90°

40°+x=90°

x=90°-40°

x=50°

supplementary angles

x+x=180

50+x=180

x=180-50

x=30°
