Explanation / Answer

Let A denotes the number of students and B denotes the number non students.

Then A + B = 357 --------- ( 1 )

and 3.50A + 5.50B = 1455.50 or 7A + 11B = 2911 ---------- ( 2 )

solving ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) we get

A = 254 anf B = 103

Therefore, the number of students is 254 and the number of non students is 103
