Answer:

the price adult ticket is $8 and the price of children tickets is $5.

Explanation:

This question can be solved using a simultaneous equation.

Let :

x = price of adult tickets

y = price of children tickets

If 8 adult tickets and 12 student tickets are sold for a total of $124, the first equation would be

8x + 12y = $124

If 16 adult tickets and 23 student tickets are sold for a total of $243, the second equation would be

16x +23y = $243

The two equations are

8x + 12y = 124

16x +23y = 243

To solve, multiply equation 1 by 2 . This gives equation 3

16x + 24y = 248

Now substract equation 3 from 2. This gives y = 5

To find y, substitute 5 with y in equation 1

8 x + 12(5) = 124

8x + 60 = 124

Solve for x

x = 8

Therefore, the price adult ticket is $8 and the price of children tickets is $5.

I hope my answer helps you
