Answer:
<u>239 students and 153 non-students attended to the school production of "Our Town"</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:
Number of tickets of the school production sold = 392
Student ticket cost = US$ 3
Non-students ticket cost = US$ 5
Total collected = US$ 1,482
2. How many students and how many non-students attended?
For answering the question we will use the following equation:
x = Number of students that attended the school production
392 - x = Number of non-students that attended the school production
3x + (392 - x) * 5 = 1,482
3x + 1,960 - 5x = 1,482
-2x = 1.482 - 1,960
-2x = - 478
x = -478/-2
<u>x = 239 ⇒ 392 - 239 = 153</u>
<u>239 students and 153 non-students attended to the school production of "Our Town"</u>
