Show how you solved the problem by using elimination method, the substitution method, or the graphical method. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let a and c be adult tickets and children's tickets, respectively. Then:
8a+5c=177.50
12a+6c=255.00
24a+15c=532.50
24a+12c=510.00
3c=22.50
c=7.50
Then solve for a
