Question 1073163: The school that Abhasra goes to is selling tickets to a play. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 senior citizen ticket and 13 child tickets for a total of $204. The school took in
$ 126 on the second day by selling 9 senior citizen tickets and 3 child tickets. Find the price of a senior citizen ticket and the price of a child ticket. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let s be a senior citizen ticket, and c be a child ticket. Then:
1s+13c=204 and
9s+3c=126
So:
9s+117c=1836
9s+3c=126
-----------
114c=1710
c=15
s=9
Senior tickets are $9 each, and children's tickets are $15 each. ☺☺☺☺
