Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the cost for one ticket for a student =$6
The cost for one ticket for an adult =$10
The theater sold 100 tickets and raises $904.
Let x students attend the performance.
So, the number of adults who attend the performance= 100-x
Total cost for the tickets = 6x+10(100-x)
[tex]\Rightarrow 904 =6x+1000-10x \\\\ \Rightarrow 904 = 1000-4x \\\\\Rightarrow 4x=1000-904 \\\\\Rightarrow 4x= 96 \\\\\Rightarrow x=96/4=24[/tex]
Hence, 24 students attend the performance.
