There were 330 people at a play. The Admission price was $3 for adults and $1 for children. The admission receipts were $650. How many adults and how many children attended?

Answer 1

If adults=a and children=c

`\left \{ {{c+a=330} \atop {3c+a=650}} \right.`

`-c-a=-330`
________________

`2c=320, c=160, a=170`
