You can put this solution on YOUR website! The math club took a field trip to see a movie.
A total of 45 people went on the trip, including students, teachers, and parent chaperones.
s + t + p = 45
-------------------------
There were ? more parents than teachers.
p > t

Movie tickets cost $11, but the students got a discount and only had to pay $7 each. The group paid a total of $335 to get everyone in.
11(P + t) + 7s = 335
----------------------------
Determine how many students, how many teachers, and how many parents went on the trip.
