Question

Tickets to the North Carolina State Fair

are $6 for adults and $2 for children under 12.
If the 1st grade at Smith Elementary School
went to the fair with 24 chaperones and the
total ticket cost came to $444, how many 1st
grade students went?

Answer 1

150 1st graders

Explanation:

do 24 times 6 because there are 24 adults and each of their tickets cost $6. you will get 144. do 444-144 to get 300 because uou want to subtract the money the adults have to pay. Since it's $2 per kid, just divide 300 by 2 to get 150. Hope this helps :)
