You can put this solution on YOUR website! Daniel is taking his two daughters to the zoo. the cost of an adult ticket is $6 more than the price of a child's ticket. if the total cost (1 adult, 2 children) is $33, find the price of each ticket.
-------
Equations:
a = c + 6
a + 2c = 33
------------------------
Substitute for "a" and solve for "c"::
c+6 + 2c = 33
3c = 27
c = $9 (cost of a child's ticket)
a = c +6 = $15 (cost of an adult's ticket)
