Explanation:

Total number of students = 9

Admision ticket cost = $10

Let cost of special exhibit ticket cost x

2 students ecah bought 4x

7 students each bought 3x

Admission. Cost + exhibit ticket cost = total cost

(10 * 9) + (2 * 4x) + (7 * 3x) = 177

90 + 8x + 21x = 177

29x = 177 - 90

29x = 87

x = $3
