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? Show all your work.

OpenStudy (haichi):

meh nvm Im done

Nnesha (nnesha):

get your all money together Aduld=A students= S 45.00A + 28.50S = 4770

Nnesha (nnesha):

and total is A + S = 150

OpenStudy (anx):

45adult + 28.5(150 - a(students)) = $4770 45adult + 4275 - 28.5adult = 4770 16.5adult = 4770 - 4275 = 495 a = 495 / 16.5 = 30, so Adult = 30 150 -30 = 120 students

Nnesha (nnesha):

and now you have two equations 45.00A + 28.50S = 4770 A + S = 150 now solve

Nnesha (nnesha):

you can use substitution method or matrices in calculator which one you want
