Question 1159404: This is a solving a system of equtions problem: There are 102 people at the dance. Somebody lost the ticket sheet and all we have left is the total money
which is $454. We also know that boys paid $5 to get in and girls paid $4. How many of each attended the dance? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! boys=B
girls=G
B+G=102
G=102-B
$5B+$4(102-B)=$454
5B+408-4B=454
B=46 boys ($230)
G=56 girls ($224)
