There is a total of 130 students going to the prom
\n" ); document.write( "if x represents seniors, then 130-x would represent juniors
\n" ); document.write( "Seniors pay $60 and Juniors pay $80 totalling $8800 so
\n" ); document.write( "\"60x+%2B+80%28130-x%29=8800\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"60x%2B10400-80x=8800\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-20x%2B10400=8800\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 10400 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"-20x=-1600\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -20
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=80\"
\n" ); document.write( "So 80 Seniors attended the prom and
\n" ); document.write( "130-x=130-80=50 Juniors Attended\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "$60(80)+$80(50)=$4800+$4000=$8800 Which is the total collected
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
