Answer: The price of an adult ticket = $6

The price of a student ticket = $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of an adult ticket be a

Let the price of a student ticket be b.

From the question,

5a + 14b = 198 ...... equation i

10a + 8b = 156....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 10

Multiply equation ii by 5

50a + 140b = 1980 ...... equation iii

50a + 40b = 780 ....... equation iv

Subtract iv from iii

100b = 1200

b = 1200/100

b = 12

Put the value of b into equation ii

10a + 8b = 156

10a + 8(12) = 156

10a + 96 = 156

10a = 156-96

10a = 60

a = 6

The price of an adult ticket = $6

The price of a student ticket = $12
