Sorry, but this is impossible the way you stated it. If there were 28 people at the dance and they each paid the twenty dollars, that would total 560 dollars. I'm willing to bet that the number of people you said attended the dance is wrong. Please check your numbers and we can do the problem.
Good luck!
