    Answer:

    A = 1.5x + 1400

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us represent

    The number of Adults = x

    The number is children = y

    The total amount of money raised = A

    We are told in the question that:

    A pancake breakfast fundraiser served 400 people and charged $5 for adults and $3.50 for children.

    Hence:

    x + y = 400…. Equation 1

    y = 400 – x

    Hence:

    A = $5 × x + $3.50 × y

    A = 5x + 3.50y

    Where y = 400 – x

    A = 5x + 3.50(400 – x)

    A = 5x + 1400 – 3.50x

    A = 1.5x + 1400

    The equation for how much money was raised is given as:

    A = 1.5x + 1400
