Answer:

40 students

Explanation:

We need a system of equations to find x or the students in advance:

2x + 4y = 800

x + y = 220

We can use substitution and isolate y in the second equation, which gives us y = 220 - x.

When we plug this into the first equation, we get 2x + 4(220 - x) = 800 and solving for x gives us x = 40.
