Brenda's school is selling tickets to a spring musical. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 9 child ... The school took in $67.00 on the second day by selling 8 senior citizen tickets and 5 child tickets. What is the price each of one senior citizen ticket and one child ticket?

Given data

let senior citizens be x

and children be y

so

3x+9y= 75--------------1

on the second day

8x+5y= 67------------2

solve 1 and 2 above

3x+9y= 75     X8

8x+5y= 67      X3

 24x+72y=600

-24x+15y=201

   0x+57y= 399

divide both sides by 57

y= 399/57

y= $7

put y= 7 in eqn 1 above

3x+9*7= 75

3x+63= 75

3x=75-63

3x=12

x= 12/3

x= $4
