The cost of a senior citizen ticket is $15 and the cost of a student ticket is $12.
How did I get this?
We know that 6 citizen tickets and 7 student stickers sold for $174 the first day. And 10 citizen tickets and 14 student tickets sold for $318 the second day.
1. create two equations out of this: C= citizen cost per ticket and S = student cost per ticket.
6C + 7S = $174
10C + 14S = $318
2. Use process of elimination. Multiply the first equation by 2 because we want two variables to cancel out.
-12C - 14S = -$348
10C + 14S = $318
Combine like terms.
-2C = $30
Divide by -2 on both sides. The left side cancels out.
C = $30/-2
C = -$15 (In this case the negative doesn't matter)
C = $15 (cost of senior citizen ticket)
Plug the value of C into any of the two equations so we can get the value of S.
6($15) + 7S = $174
Distribute the 6 into the parenthesis.
$90 + 7S = $174
Subtract both sides by $90 and the left side will cancel out.
7S = $84
Divide both sides by 7.
S = $12
Student ticket: $12
Senior citizen ticket: $15

We observe that both fractions are not defined if 
. So, we will assume 
.
We multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and we sum the two fractions:
We multiply both sides by 
:
We move everything to one side and solve the quadratic equation:
We check the solution:

The distance formula is an algebraic expression used to determine the distance between two points with the coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
<span><span>D=<span><span>(<span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span><span>)2</span>+(<span>y2</span>−<span>y1</span><span>)2</span></span><span>−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−</span>√</span></span><span>D=<span>(<span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span><span>)2</span>+(<span>y2</span>−<span>y1</span><span>)2</span></span></span></span>
Example
Find the distance between (-1, 1) and (3, 4).
This problem is solved simply by plugging our x- and y-values into the distance formula:
<span><span>D=<span><span>(3−(−1)<span>)2</span>+(4−1<span>)2</span></span><span>−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−</span>√</span>=</span><span>D=<span>(3−(−1)<span>)2</span>+(4−1<span>)2</span></span>=</span></span>
<span><span>=<span><span>16+9</span><span>−−−−−</span>√</span>=<span>25<span>−−</span>√</span>=5</span><span>=<span>16+9</span>=25=5</span></span>
Sometimes you need to find the point that is exactly between two other points. This middle point is called the "midpoint". By definition, a midpoint of a line segment is the point on that line segment that divides the segment in two congruent segments.
If the end points of a line segment is (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the midpoint of the line segment has the coordinates:
<span><span>(<span><span><span>x1</span>+<span>x2</span></span>2</span>,<span><span><span>y1</span>+<span>y2</span></span>2</span>)</span><span><span>(<span><span><span>x1</span>+<span>x2</span></span>2</span>,<span><span><span>y1</span>+<span>y2</span></span>2</span>)</span><span>

Hey there Unrazed90,
Answer :
100% = $25.30
1% = $25.30 / 100
= $0.253
8% = $0.253 x 8
= $2.024
Total = $25.30 + $2.024
= $27.324
= $27
Hope this helps :D
