It seems like a really easy problem but I've been trying to get it for fifteen minutes and can't.
Basically, there's a fare for a boat trip. It's $39 for adults, $19 for children, and $5 for infants. There were 49 passengers who paid a total fare of $1475. There were also twice as many adult passengers as children. The question is how many infants were there?
(Btw, you're only supposed to use one variable)
My teacher said something crazy about purposely making impossible problems just for us to grow confident in our solving skills but this is ludicrous. Is this problem even possible?
