There were 450 people at a play. The admission price was $2 for adults and $1 for children. The admission receipts were $680. How many adults in how many children attended

Adults= 110

Children= 340

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let adults be x

and children be y

x+y= 4501

2x+y=6802

from 1

x= 450-y

put this in 2

2(450-y)=680

900-2y=680

900-680=2y

220=2y

y= 220/2

y= 110

x+110= 450

x= 450-110

x=340
