Answer: $20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' be the cost of a ticket at Haynes
Let 'y' be the cost of a ticket at Valley
Since the total cost from both schools are the same, we can write it as:
Since the cost of tickets at Valley was $5 less than Haynes, we can write it as:
Now we have two equations, we can use to substitute into the other expression:
we substitute y in this equation with the other equation
Therefore the cost of the ticket at Haynes is $20 and the cost of the ticket at Valley is $15.
