Question

Salisbury High School decided to take their students on a field trip to a theme park. A total of 150 people went on the trip. Adults pay $45.00 for a ticket and students pay $28.50 for a ticket. How many students and how many adults went to the park if they paid a total of $4770?

Answer 1

This is a system of equations:

So let A = Adults, S = Students

Then we can do this:

A + S = 150
45A + 28.5S = 4770

Now you can solve this as a system of equations, by using substitution or elimination.
