Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of children tickets that were sold.
At a charity fund-raiser, adult tickets were sold for $7 each and children tickets for $2 each. An algebraic expression for the total amount of money raised from the sale of x adult tickets and y children tickets is
7x + 2y
Therefore, the total amount raised from selling 246 adult tickets and 371 children's tickets would be
(7 × 246) + (2 × 371)
= 1722 + 742
= $2464
