The admission fee at the county fair is $2 for children and $4 for adults. On a certain day, 2000 people enter the fair and $5000 is collected. Using c as the variable to represent the number of children and a as the variable for adults, write a system of equations to determine how many children and how many adults attended. Note down this system of equations so that you can use it for the next question.
