Answer:

There are 6 adults. My mistake! I had the wrong equation. 3 + 9a = 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • There is only 1 child in the group.
  • Cost for children is 3$.
  • The cost for adults is 9$.
  • 9 * 6 = 54
  • 3 * 1 = 3
  • 3 + 9a = 57
  • Simplify:
  • 6 Adults.

Answer:

3 + 9a = 57

(57-3) / 9

=54/9

=6

6 adults were in the group
