There were 840 people at a play. The admission price was $3 for adults and $1 for children. The admission receipts were $1440. Solve a system of equations to find how many adults attended.

A.135

b.270

c.300

d.540

Suppose adult people = x

Children = 840-x

1440 = 3 x + (840- x) 1

1440 =3x-x+840

1440-840 =2x

X= 600/2 = 300

Henc , adult people are 300
