fundraiser sold 234 adult tickets and 388 children's tickets?

Answer 1

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

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

For x=234, y=388

substitute in the algebraic expression

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