Answer:
325 adults and 612 children
A total of 937 people attended the play. Admission was $2.00 for adults and $0.75 for students. The total ticket sales amounted to $1,109. How many students and adults attended the school play? First complete the equations below, where A stands for Adults and S stands for Students.
[325]A + [612]S = 1,109; A + S = [2.75]
325 (amount of adults) x 2 (2 is the amount of money for each adult ticket)
= $650
937 (amount of people total in the play) - 325 (adults)
= 612 (kids)
612 x 0.75 (amount for each child)
= $459
$459 + 650 = $1109
325 + 612 = 937
