and 2 adult tickets. If they spent a total of
$ 104.50, how much was the price of each
adult ticket?

PLEASE WRITE THE EQUATION AND SOLUTION!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

the price of each adult ticket is $43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the price for 1 adult ticket is x and the price for 1 child ticket is y

3y = 18.5 and 3y + 2x = 104.50

2x + 18.5 = 104.50

2x = 104.5 - 18.50

2x = 86

x = $\frac{86}{2}$

x = 43

So the price for 1 adult ticket is $43

Answer 2

Answer:

Let's say the price for 1 adult ticket is x and price for 1 child ticket is y

3y = 18.5 and 3y + 2x = 104.5

<=> 2x + 18.5 = 104.5

<=> 2x = 104.5 - 18.5

<=> 2x = 86

<=> x = 86 / 2

<=> x = 43

So the price for 1 adult ticket is $43
