A local museum charges [tex]$\$[/tex] 25[tex]$ per adult and $[/tex]\[tex]$ 12$[/tex] per child for admission fees. At the end of a day, the museum made [tex]$\$[/tex] 9,014[tex]$ in total admission revenue, not including sales tax, and had a total of 450 guests.

The system of equations below can be used to model the number of guests that were children, $[/tex]x[tex]$, and the number of guests that were adults, $[/tex]y$.

[tex]\[
\begin{aligned}
12x + 25y &= 9,014 \\
x + y &= 450
\end{aligned}
\][/tex]

Graph the equations and determine the approximate number of guests that were children and the approximate number of guests that were adults for that day.

300
350

To solve for the number of guests that were children (denoted as [tex]\( x \)[/tex]) and the number of guests that were adults (denoted as [tex]\( y \)[/tex]), we analyze the given system of equations:

[tex]\[ \begin{aligned} 1. \quad 12x + 25y &= 9014 \\ 2. \quad x + y &= 450 \end{aligned} \][/tex]

First, we solve the second equation for one of the variables. Let's solve for [tex]\( y \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ y = 450 - x \][/tex]

Next, we substitute [tex]\( y = 450 - x \)[/tex] into the first equation:

[tex]\[ 12x + 25(450 - x) = 9014 \][/tex]

Expanding and simplifying the equation:

[tex]\[ 12x + 11250 - 25x = 9014 \][/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]\[ -13x + 11250 = 9014 \][/tex]

Subtract 11250 from both sides of the equation:

[tex]\[ -13x = 9014 - 11250 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ -13x = -2236 \][/tex]

Divide both sides by -13:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{-2236}{-13} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x = 172 \][/tex]

So, the number of children is [tex]\( 172 \)[/tex].

To find the number of adults, we substitute [tex]\( x = 172 \)[/tex] back into the second equation:

[tex]\[ x + y = 450 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 172 + y = 450 \][/tex]

Subtract 172 from both sides:

[tex]\[ y = 450 - 172 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ y = 278 \][/tex]

So, the number of adults is [tex]\( 278 \)[/tex].

Therefore, the approximate number of guests that were children for that day is 172, and the approximate number of guests that were adults for that day is 278.
