The amount of hats and scarves are illustrations of linear equations

The number of children is 6

How to solve the equation

The given parameters are:

Hat = $9

Scarve = $5.50

So, we have the following equation

Total = c * (2h + 3s)

The total amount spent is $207.

So, we have:

c * (2h + 3s) = 207

Substitute values for c and h

c * (2*9 + 3*5.5) = 207

This gives

c *34.5 = 207

Divide both sides by 34.5

c = 6

Hence, the number of children is 6
