Tanzila is selling tickets to the MS127 musical. On the first day of ticket sales she sold 2 adults tickets and 10 child tickets for a total of $78. Then she sold $67 on the second day by selling 8 adults tickets and 5 child tickets. What is the price of one adult ticket and one child ticket?
1 answer:
Answer:
One adult ticket is $4 and one child ticket is $7
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations
2x + 10y = 78
8x + 5y = 67
Solve by elimination, multiply the 2nd equation by -2
2x +10y = 78
-16x -10y = -134
Add the equations
-14x = -56
x = 4
The price of one adult ticket is $4
Plug 4 in as x to find y
2(4) + 10y = 78
8 + 10y = 78
10y = 70
y = 7
The price of one child ticket is $7
