Answer:the price of one senior citizen's ticket is $4
the price of one student ticket is $10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the price of one senior citizen's ticket
Let y represent the price of one student ticket.
On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 6 senior citizen tickets and 10 student tickets for a total of $124. This means that
6x + 10y = 124 - - - - - - - - - - 1
The school took in 98 on the second day by selling 12 senior citizen tickets and 5 student tickets. This means that
12x + 5y = 98 - - - - - - - - - - - 2
Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes
12x + 20y = 248
12x + 5y = 98
Subtracting, it becomes
15y = 150
y = 150/15 = 10
Substituting y = 10 into equation 1, it becomes
6x + 10 × 10= 124
6x + 100 = 124
6x = 124 - 100 = 24
x = 24/6 = 4
