Question 803856: How do I solve this??
The drama club sold 1500 tickets for the end-of-year performance. Admission prices were $12 for adults and $6 for students. The total amount collected at the box office was $16,200. How many students attended the play?

Next, you need a value relationship -- the value of the adult tickets sold plus the value of the student tickets sold is equal to $16,200.
