<PRE><B>Question 1065929</B>
At the last dance at J.C. Richardson, 130 people in total attended. If a student has to pay $4.50 to come and a visitor has to pay $6.50 to come, how many students showed up if $617.00 was collected in total? 
-------------------
People Equation:: s + v = 130
Value Equation:: 4.5s + 6.5v = 617 dollars
---------------------------------
Modify for elimination::
65s + 65v = 65*130
45s + 65v = 6170
------------------
20s = 2280
# of students = 114
----------------
