Question

Ralph spent $132 to buy movie tickets for 20 students and 4 adult chaperones. Adult tickets cost $3 more than student tickets. If AA is the price of an adult ticket and SS is the price of a student ticket, which system of equations could be used to find the price of each adult and student ticket?

Answer 1

AA = 4 (+$3)
SS = 20
Total spent = $132
$132 - 12 = 120
120 / 24 = 5
Students cost $5 and adults are $8
To get $12 I multiplied $3 and 4 adults and subtract to the total amount which comes to $120 now that everyone has the same price simple division $120 / 24 people comes up to $5each person now 4 of those are adults so you have to add 3
