Answer: the cost of one adult ticket is $8

the cost of one kid ticket is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one adult ticket.

Let y represent the cost of one kid ticket.

They sold 64 adult tickets (x) and 132 kid tickets (y) and made $1040. This means that

64x + 132y = 1040 - - - - - - - - - - -1

An adult ticket is double the cost of a kid's ticket. This means that

x = 2y

Substituting x = 2y into equation 1, it becomes

64 × 2y + 132y = 1040

128y + 132y = 1040

260y = 1040

y = 1040/260 = 4

x = 2y = 2 × 4

x = 8
