let p present pairs and s for single student

$2p+s =144$

$80s +150p = 10980$

solve these two equation to get the value of p and s

Edited : I fixed an error

Suppose $x$ singles and $y$ pairs attended.

Then the total sales were \$ $(80x+150y)$; so $80x+150y=10980$ (1)

And the number attending was $x+2y=144$ (2)

Can you solve these simultaneous equations?
