Answer:

The total money raised was $\$2,414$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of adult tickets

y -----> the number of children's tickets

we know that

The algebraic expression that represent the total amount of money raised from the sale of tickets is

$7x+2y$

For x=234, y=388

substitute in the algebraic expression

$7(234)+2(388)=\$2,414$
