The price of one senior citizen ticket is <u>$8</u> while the price of one student ticket is <u>$14</u>.
<h3>How to solve simultaneous equations:</h3>
Forming the sales units and total revenue for each day as simultaneous equations will give:
Day one sales = 4c + 5s = $102 ... equation 1
Day two sales = 7c + 5s = $126 ... equation 2
<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>
Senior Citizen (c) Students (s) Total Sales
Day one 4 5 $102
Day two 7 5 $126
Equation 1: 4c + 5s = $102
Equation 2: 7c + 5s = $126
<u>Elimination</u>:
Deducting equation one from equation two will give:
7c + 5s = $126
- 4c + 5s = $102
= 3c = $24
c = $8 ($24/3)
<u>Substitution of c in equation one</u>:
4c + 5s = $102
= 4 x $8 + 5s = $102
= $32 + 5s = $102
5s = $102 - $32
5s = $70
s = $14
<u>Check accuracy in equation two</u>:
7c + 5s = $126
= 7 x $8 + 5 x $14 = $126
= $56 + $70 = $126
Thus, the price of one senior citizen ticket is <u>$8</u> while the price of one student ticket is <u>$14</u>.
