7/8+9/10=71/40=1 31/40
1/4+2/3=11/12
1/2+1/4 is different from 1/2+1/3 because
1/2+1/4= 2/4+1/4= 5/1 =1 1/4
1/2+1/3=3/6+2/6=5/6
Answer:
both kinds of tickets are $5 each
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s and c represent the dollar costs of a senior ticket and child ticket, respectively. The problem statement describes two relationships:
12s + 5c = 85 . . . . . revenue from the first day of sales
6s + 9c = 75 . . . . . . revenue from the second day of sales
Double the second equation and subtract the first to eliminate the s variable.
2(6s +9c) -(12s +5c) = 2(75) -(85)
13c = 65 . . . . . simplify
65/13 = c = 5 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of c
Substitute this value into either equation. Let's use the second one.
6s + 9·5 = 75
6s = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 45
30/6 = s = 5 . . . divide by the coefficient of s
The price of a senior ticket is $5; the price of a child ticket is $5.
