These are the equations you need - a+k=total, 12a+6k=15480

Set up two equations: one for the amount of money collected, and one for the number of tickets sold (people who attended).

Let a= adults
Let s= students

Money equation:
15480=12a+6s

Ticket equation:
1500=a+s

Now just solve the system of equations for s:
15480-12a=6s\\ \frac{15480}{6} - \frac{12a}{6} =s\\ 2580-2a=s\\ 1500=a+s\\ 1500=a+(2580-2a)\\ 1500=-a+2580\\ 1500-2580=-a\\ -1080=-a\\ 1080=a\\ \\ 1500=a+s\\ 1500=1080+s 420=s

I REALLY NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer: 64 centimeters squared.

Step-by-step explanation: This shape is a parallelogram. And the area of a parallelogram is just the base multiplied by the height. Here, the base is 10 cm and the height is 7 cm. So you might think the the area is just 70 centimeters squared. But here's the catch. There is a rectangular region in this parallelogram that is not shaded. But you can still easily solve this problem. All you need to do is find the area of that rectangular region and you already know the length and the width of this region. And, remember, the area of a rectangle is just the length and the width multiplied. So here, the area of that rectangular region is just 2 cm multiplied by 3 cm. Which will give you 6 centimeters squared. Now, all that's left to do is subtract the area of that rectangular region, 6 centimeters squared, from the total area of the parallelogram, 70 centimeters squared. And that should give you 64 centimeters squared as your final answer. I really hope this makes sense and is helpful.
