A total of 25 LJHS students and adults attended the state playoffs. It was $8 for an adult and $5 for a student. If the total was $155, how many students and adults attended?

Respuesta :

Answer:

15 students and 10 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 25       Total number of attendants

5x + 8y = 155     Total amount earned

5(15) + 8(10) = 155     Pick numbers to sub in for x and y until you find ones that work

15 students (x) and 10 adults (y) attended the game.
