Problem
Part 2 of 2 Points: 0.5 of 1 Swimming Pool On a certain hot summer's day, 295 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are \( \$ 1.50 \) for children and \( \$ 2.25 \) for adults. The receipts for admission totaled \( \$ 534.75 \). How many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that day?
Solution
Step 1 ：Let x be the number of children and y be the number of adults.
Step 2 ：Write the given equations: x + y = 295 (Total number of swimmers) and 1.50x + 2.25y = 534.75 (Total cost)
Step 3 ：Solve the system of equations to find x (the number of children) and y (the number of adults).
