Answer:
Price of a senior citizen ticket is $4 and price of a student ticket is $15 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the price a senior citizen ticket be x .
Let us assume that the price a student citizen ticket be y .
As given
The school that Jack goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance.
On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 9 senior citizen tickets and 8 student tickets for a total of $156.
Equtaions becomes
9x + 8y = 156
As given
The school took in $163 on the second day by selling 7 senior citizen tickets and 9 student tickets.
Equations becomes
7x + 9y = 163
Multipy 9x + 8y = 156 by 9 .
81x + 72y = 1404
Multiply 7x + 9y = 163 by 8 .
56x + 72y = 1304
Subtracted 56x + 72y = 1304 from 81x + 72y = 1404 .
81x - 56x + 72y - 72y = 1404 - 1304
25x = 100
x = $ 4
Putting value of x in the 56x + 72y = 1304 .
56 × 4 + 72y = 1304
224 + 72y = 1304
72y = 1304 - 224
72y = 1080
y = $15
Therefore the price of a senior citizen ticket is $4 and price of a student ticket is $15 .
Probability Trees - See linked image
A good visual method for this is a probability tree.
Each set of branches represents the probabilities of on coin being removed, the second set is out of 9 as the first coin is taken and not replaced.
Multiply along the lines to work out the probability of each of the combinations.
*Even though only 'Dime Dime' is needed, it is best to do all of them as this way you are able to get all marks in an exam; you can also add up all the final values as a check to see if you are right.
