The cost of each senior ticket is $ 5 and cost of each child ticket is $ 12
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "a" be the price of each senior ticket
Let "b" be the price of each child ticket
<em><u>On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 4 senior tickets and 4 child tickets for a to total of 68</u></em>
Thus a equation is framed as:
4 senior tickets x price of each senior ticket + 4 child tickets x price of each child ticket = 68
4a + 4b = 68 ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>The school took in 120 on the second day by selling 12 senior tickets and 5 child tickets</u></em>
Similarly, we frame a equation as:
12a + 5b = 120 ---------- eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
<em><u>Multiply eqn 1 by 3</u></em>
12a + 12b = 204 -------- eqn 3
<em><u>Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3</u></em>
12a + 12b = 204
12a + 5b = 120
( - ) --------------
7b = 84
b = 12
<em><u>Substitute b = 12 in eqn 1</u></em>
4a + 4(12) = 68
4a + 48 = 68
4a = 20
a = 5
Thus cost of each senior ticket is $ 5 and cost of each child ticket is $ 12
Answer:
There are 108 inches in 9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, two unit multipliers mean we have to convert through two units before we arrive at our final answer so we can convert from feet to yards to inches!
We know that 3 feet equal a yard, right?
So we can divide 9 by 3 to get the amount that 9 feet translates to in yards.
So we are now done with our first conversion! Our second is going to be from yards to inches!
There are 36 inches in 1 yard so we should multiply 3 by 36 to get the amount in inches!
