On a certain day, the company took 88 people on whale watching trips. There were 44 children aged twelve and under, of which some children were under three years. If x represents the number of children under three years, which equation can be used to find the value of x, where C represents the total amount of money collected from tickets that day?

(44 + x)35 + (88 – (44 + x)) ∙ 46 = C

(88 - x)35 + (88 – 44) ∙ 46 = C

(44 – x)35 + (88 – 44) ∙ 46 = C

(88 + x)35 + (88 – (44 + x)) ∙ 46 = C

Please explain why? ...?

"(44 – x)35 + (88 – 44) ∙ 46 = C" is the one equation among the following choices given in the question that can be used to find the value of x, where C represents the total amount of money collected from tickets that day. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option.

Answer with explanation:

Total number of People who were on Whale Watching Trip =88 People

Number of People (Children ) who was 12 and under ,and some children who were under three years old=44

Number of three year and less old Children = x

Amount of Money charged for three year and less= $ 0

Amount Charged for Children who were above 12 years and less than or equal to 3 years=(44-x) = $ 35

Total Number of Adults =88-44

Amount charged for each Adult = $46

Total amount of money collected from tickets on that day=$ C

Writing the Above Statements in terms of Equation

⇒ (44 -x)×35+(88-44)×46=C

Option C
