At a charity fund-raiser, adult tickets were sold for $ 7 each and children tickets for $2 each. Write an algebraic expression for the total amount of money raised from the sale of tickets. How much money was raised if the fundraiser sold each and children's tickets were sold for 246 adult tickets and 371 children's tickets?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of children tickets that were sold.

At a charity fund-raiser, adult tickets were sold for $7 each and children tickets for $2 each. An algebraic expression for the total amount of money raised from the sale of x adult tickets and y children tickets is

7x + 2y

Therefore, the total amount raised from selling 246 adult tickets and 371 children's tickets would be

(7 * 246) + (2 * 371)

= 1722 + 742

= $2464
