Answer: 170 people paid GH¢20 and 180 people paid GH¢30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of people that paid GH¢20 be represented by x.
Let the number of people that paid GH¢30 be represented by y.
Based on the above information given, we can form an equation which will be:
x + y = 350 ....... i
20x + 30y = 8800 ....... ii
Multiply equation i by 20
20x + 20y = 7000 ...... iii
20x + 30y = 8800 ...... iv
Subtract iii from iv
10y = 1800
y = 1800/10
y = 180
Since x + y = 350
x = 350 - y.
x = 350 - 180
x = 170
Therefore, 170 people paid GH¢20 and 180 people paid GH¢30
