Answer:

There were 172 guests that were children and 278 guests that were adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: State what is known

It is $25 per adult

It is $12 per child

The made $9014 dollars

There were 450 guests

Step 2: Define equations

25y + 12x = 9014 -----1

x + y = 450 ------------2

Step 3: Rearrange equation 2 for x

x + y = 450

x = 450 - y --------------3

Step 4: Substitute 3 into 1 for y and solve for y

25y + 12(450 - y) = 9014

25y + 5400 - 12y = 9014

13y = 3614

y = 3614/13

y = 278

Step 5: Substitute y = 278 into 3 to solve for x

x = 450 - (278)

x = 172

Therefore 172 children and 278 adults visited the museum

A]
Exponential function is given by the form:
y=a(b)ˣ
where:
a=initial value
b=growth factor
From the question:
a=$8000, b=1.015, 
thus the exponential growth function of this situation is:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ

b] The value of the collection after 7 years will be:
x=7 years
Using the formula:
y=8000(1.015)ˣ
plugging the values we get:
y=8000(1.015)⁷
y=8,878.76

Answer: $8,878.76
