You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi,
*Note: Let x represent the number of students attending. (x-150) would be the number of adults.
.
the question states the following to be true
*$3.00*x + $5.00*(x-150) = $4730.00
.
simplify and solve for x, the number of students
3x + 5x - 750 = 4730
8x = 5480
x = 685
.
check your answer
3*685 + 5*535 = 4730
