Hi, 

Let x represent the number of adults, then (444-x) would represent the number of senior citizens

$23*x + $12(444-x) = $6791

11x + 5328 = $6791

11x = 1463

x = 133 the number of adults

(444-133) = 311 the number of senior citizens



hi again, re reply: please post on site exactly as the homework reads
