Let the number of adults equal x, then the students are 120-x. Since the ticket
cost for adults is $10, the money proceeds is $10x, while for students will be
$6(120-x).Since the total proceeds were $980, we write the equation:
10x+6(120-x)=980. Solving this equation we get the number of adults equal 65, and
the number of students will be: 120-65=55.
Answer: The concert attended 65 adults and 55 students.
