Senior tickets (x)
Child tickets (y)
First day: 3x + 5y = 70
second day: 12x + 12y = 216
Solve the system of equations (use elimination)
Multiply first equation by -4 -4(3x + 5y = 70), which makes it
-12x - 20y = -280
(+)12x + 12y = 216 add to second equation
-8y = -64
divide by -8. y = 8
Plugin the y value to either equation ( I will choose first equation)
3x + 5(8) =70
3x+ 40 = 70
3x = 30
x = 10
Senior tickets are $10, child tickets are $8
29990
10%=29990/10=2999
1%=2999/10=299.90
0.5%=299.90/2=149.95
6%=299.90x6=1799.40
6.5%=1799.50+149.95=$1949.35 tax
total +tax
29990+1949.35=$31395.35
hope this helps
