Question

The art department at a school sold 323 tickets
to an art show, for a total of $790. Students paid
$2 for tickets, and non-students paid $3.50. The
principal asked how many non-students
attended the art show.

Answer 1

Answer:

96 students

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 323

2x + 3.5y = 790

=> by elimination

2x+3.5y=790

2x+ 2y = 646

__________-

1.5y = 144

y = 144/1.5 = 96
