Answer:
72 yrs old.
Step-by-step explanation:
The combined age
D+O=96
The owner is 3 times older than dog
O=3D
D+3D=96
4D = 96
D= 24
Now substitute the value of D in O=3D
O=3.24= 72
The owner is 72 years old.
To find the answer, set up a system of equations.
Let x=adult tickets and y=senior citizen tickets.
x+y=556
22x+12y=8492
Change the first equation to make it easy to combine with the second equation.
y=556-x
Now substitute (556-x) for y in the second equation.
22x+12(556-x)=8492
Simplify and combine like terms.
22x+6672-12x=8492
10x=1820
x=182
182 adult tickets were sold, so to solve for the number of senior citizen tickets sold, subtract 182 from 556.
556-182=374
374 senior citizen tickets were sold.
