    239 students and 153 non-students attended to the school production of "Our Town"

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

    Number of tickets of the school production sold = 392

    Student ticket cost = US$ 3

    Non-students ticket cost = US$ 5

    Total collected = US$ 1,482

    2. How many students and how many non-students attended?

    For answering the question we will use the following equation:

    x = Number of students that attended the school production

    392 - x = Number of non-students that attended the school production

    3x + (392 - x) * 5 = 1,482

    3x + 1,960 - 5x = 1,482

    -2x = 1.482 - 1,960

    -2x = - 478

    x = - 478/-2

    x = 239 ⇒ 392 - 239 = 153
