Answer 1

Answer:

c = price of child ticket = $4.25

a = price of adult ticket = $4.25 + $1.00 = $5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

A child ticket costs c and an adult ticket costs a = c + 1.

21 children pay c dollars each for admission, and

3 teachers pay c + 1 dollars each for admission.

Thus,

21c + 3(c + 1) = $105, and

21c + 3c + 3 = $105, so that:

24c = $102

c = price of child ticket = $4.25

a = price of adult ticket = $4.25 + $1.00 = $5.25
