The price of a staff ticket and the price of a student ticket is $8 and $14

Given:

Day 1:

Number of staff tickets sold = 3

Number of students tickets sold = 1

Total revenue day 1 = $38

Day 2:

<em>Number of staff tickets sold</em> = 3

<em>Number of students tickets sold</em> = 2

<em>Total revenue day</em> 2 = $52

let

<em>cost of staff tickets</em> = x

<em>cost of students tickets</em> = y

The equation:

<em>3x + y = 38 (1)</em>

<em>3x + y = 38 (1)3x + 2y = 52 (2)</em>

subtract (1) from (2)

2y - y = 52 - 38

y = 14

substitute y = 14 into (1)

3x + y = 38 (1)

3x + 14 = 38

3x = 38 - 14

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

Therefore,

cost of staff tickets = x

= $8

cost of students tickets = y

= $14

You and your friend are selling tickets to a charity event. You sell 11 adult tickets and 8 student tickets for $158. Your frien
svetlana [45]
So what we have to do to solve this problem is to write down those values in 2 equations (one that represents what you sold and the other what your friend sold) compare them and find how much each ticket is worth.
First equation : 11x + 8y = 158
Where x = how much each adult ticket is
and y = how much each student ticket is

The second equation is : 5x + 17y = 152

Using the method of substitution , we can compare each equation side by side:
11x + 8y = 158
5x + 17y = 152
Now we need to set one of the variables of both equations so they are equal:
11(5)x + 8(5) = 158(5)
5(11)x + 17(11)x = 152(11)

55x + 40y = 790
55x + 187y = 1672

Then we subtract the second equation by the first one

55x-55x + 187y - 40y = 1672 - 790
147y = 882
y = 6
The we apply y to one of the equations to discover x :
11x + 8y = 158
11x + 8(6) = 158
11x + 48 = 158
11x = 110
x = 10

So the awnser is :
Each adult ticket (x) is $10
And each student ticket (y) is $8
