Algebra.Com's Answer #559288 by kggoyani(2)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let, price of individual child ticket is $x, and price of individual adult ticket is $y. \n" ); document.write( "Now, on Friday we can write an equation is 55x+20y=200....(1). \n" ); document.write( "and on Saturday we can write an equation is 72x+36y=306.....(2). \n" ); document.write( "so, Equation 1: 55x+20y=200 \n" ); document.write( " Equation 2: 72x+36y=306 \n" ); document.write( "now, we are going to solve both equastions. \n" ); document.write( "you may use http://www.webmath.com/solver2.html to solve equestions. \n" ); document.write( "after solving you will find x=2 and y=4.5 \n" ); document.write( "Hence, we can say that the cost of child ticket is $2, and the cost of adult ticket is $4.5. \n" ); document.write( " |
