Problema Solution
Tickets to a fundraising dance are $15 per Chapelgate student and $20 oer non- Chapelgate student. If 300 students came to the dance in total and they raised $4875, how many Chapelgate students came to the dance? How many non chapelgate students came?
Answer provided by our tutors
Chapelgate student: x
non- Chapelgate student: (300-x)
So the equation is
15x + 20(300-x) = 4875
x = 225
So
Chapelgate student: 225
non- Chapelgate student: 75
