Adult tickets to a play cost $22.00 Tickets for children cost $15.00. Tickets for a group of 11 people cost a total of $228.00. Write and solve a system of equations to find how many children and how many adults were in the group.

Here is the set up:

Let x represent the number of adults
Let y represent the number of children

x + y = 11 (only 11 people were in the group )
22x + 15y = 228 ( This is the equation that deals with money )

Now you finish it.
