Let the price of an adult ticket is x and a child ticket is y .
from the question ,
[tex]6x + 2y = 124 \: \: ...(i) \\ \\ 3x + 5y = 100 \: \: ...(ii)[/tex]
Multiply 2 in eq (ii)
[tex]6x + 10y = 200 \: \: ...(iii)[/tex]
On adding eq (iii) and (i)
[tex]6x + 10y = 200 \\ \\ 6x + 2y = 124[/tex]
we get ,
[tex]8y = 76 \\ \\ y = \frac{76}{8} \\ \\ y = 9.5[/tex]
putting y in eq (i)
[tex]6x + 2y = 124 \\ \\ 6x + 2 \times 9.5 = 124 \\ \\ 6x + 19 = 124 \\ \\ 6x = 124 - 19 \\ \\ 6x = 105 \\ \\ x = \frac{105}{6} \\ \\ x = 17.5[/tex]
The value of x = 17.5 and y = 9.5
Hence , The price of an adult ticket is 17.5 and the price of a child ticket is 9.5 .
