Answer:

\pounds 26.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = cost for one adult

y = cost for one child

z = cost for one senior.

<u>The Reid family:</u>

take 2 adults and 2 children and paid 2x+2y that is \pounds 18, so

2x+2y=18

<u>The Mghee family:</u>

take 1 senior, 2 adults and 1 child and paid x+2x+y that is \pounds 18.50, so

x+2x+y=18.50

<u>The Griffiths family:</u>

take 1 senior and 3 adults and paid z+3x that is \pounds 19.50, so

z+3x=19.50

You get the system of three equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}2x+2y=18\\ \\z+2x+y=18.50\\ \\z+3x=19.50\end{array}\right.

From the first equation:

2y=18-2x\\ \\y=9-x

From the third equation:

z=19.50-3x

Substitute them into the second equation:

19.50-3x+2x+9-x=18.50\\ \\-3x+2x-x=18.50-19.50-9\\ \\-2x=-10\\ \\2x=10\\ \\x=5

Then

y=9-5=4\\ \\z=19.50-3\cdot 5=19.50-15=4.50

Hence,

the cost for one adult is \pounds 5

the cost for one child is \pounds 4

the cost for one senior is \pounds 4.50

<u>The Linton family</u> takes 1 senior, 2 adults and 3 children and paid

\pounds 4.50+2\cdot \pounds 5+3\cdot \pounds 4=\pounds 26.50
