Answer:
Adult ticket is $60
Child ticket is $32
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = price of adult ticket
y = price of child ticket
(1) 175x + 103y = 13796 (2) 2x + 2y = 184
x + y = 92
y = 92 - x
175x + 103(92 - x) = 13796
175x + 9476 - 103x = 13796
72x = 4320
x = 60 y = 92 - 60
y = 32
Since the jar is 12 ounces, we want to find the price when it is one ounce. We do this by dividing the price, $3.60, by 12:
3.60/12 = 0.3
So, the answer is $0.30/oz, or (B).
