Question

3) The school that Jill goes to is selling tickets to a fall musical. On the first day of ticket sales the
school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 6 child tickets for a total of $102. The school took in
$184 on the second day by selling 1 senior citizen ticket and 12 child tickets. Find the price of a
senior citizen ticket and the price of a child ticket.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x - number of senior citizen tickets sold

y - number of child tickets sold

1st day: 3x + 6y = 102

2nd day: x + 12y = 184

2 (3x + 6y = 102)

= 6x + 12y = 204

-1 (x + 12y = 184)

= -x - 12y = -184

6x + 12y = 204

-x - 12y = -184

= 5x = 20

x = 4

3(4) + 6y = 102

= 12 + 6y = 102

= 6y = 90

y = 15

Answer:

One senior ticket is $ 4.00 and one child ticket is $ 15.00

Hope this helps! :D
