Answer:

I think about 5 adults went

Answer:

5 adults went on the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 14 children ($75 each) and the total was $1475. We need to find out how many adults were there ($85 each)

c is for children and a is for adults

equation:  $75c+ $85a = $1475

$75(14)+ $85a= $1475

$1050 + $85a = $1475

-1050                   -1050

$85a = $425

85a/85 = 425/85

a = 5

5 adults went on the trip. Hope this helps! :)
