Question

Two families went to Rollercoaster World.

Answer 1

Answer:

Children ticket cost $30 and adult ticket costs $40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

x = price of a child ticket

y = price of an adult ticket

According to given statement;

3x+2y=170     Eqn 1

4x+6y=360    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

3(3x+2y=170)

9x+6y=510      Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(9x+6y)-(4x+6y)=510-360

9x+6y-4x-6y=150

5x=150

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{150}{5}\\x=30$

Putting x=30 in Eqn 1

3(30)+2y=170

90+2y=170

2y = 170-90

2y = 80

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{80}{2}\\y=40$

Hence,

Children ticket cost $30 and adult ticket costs $40.
