Question

Fair rickets for 2 adults and 3 children cost $34. An adult ticket costs $2 more than a child ticket. What is the price of an adult ticket

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An adult ticket costs $2 more than a child ticket

Let x and (x + $2)represent the cost of the child and adult ticket respectively

2(x+ $2) + 3x = $34

now solving for x

2x+ $4 + 3x = $34

       5x = $30

        x = $6 , the cost of the child ticket.

the cost of adult ticket $6+2=$8
