Answer 1

Let the cost of senior citizen ticket be x and cost of child ticket be y

ATQ,

$\sf \qquad 3x + y = 38 \\ \sf \qquad3x + 2y = 52$

Solve the equation for x and y

$\sf \qquad \: 3x + y = 38 \\ \sf \qquad - 3x - 2y = - 52$

$\sf \qquad y = 14$

Substitute the given value of y into the first equation

$\sf \qquad3x + 14 = 38$

$\sf \qquad3x = 38 - 14$

$\sf \qquad3x = 24$

$\sf \qquad \: x = 8$

Therefore, The cost of 1 senior citizen ticket is 8 dollar and cost of 1 child ticket is 14 dollar...~
