Admission for students is $4.00 and adults are $8.00 and a total of $1808 was made in sales. If there was 325 fans at the game, how many were adults and students?

In order to solve for the number of adults and students, we'll have to create a few variables.

's' will stand for students and 'a' will stand for adults.

We can make two equations with what we've been given:

4s + 8a = 1808
s + a = 325

We can use the subtraction method in order to solve this equation. Multiply the second equation by -4 (We do this in order to isolate one of the variables):

4s + 8a = 1808
-4s - 4a = -1300

4a = 508

We simply added the two equations together. Divide both sides by 4 and:

a = 127

Now that we know the number of adults who attended, we can input this variable into the second equation:

s + a = 325
s + 127 = 325
s = 198

127 adults attended and 198 students attended.
