Question 1171760: Some History teachers at Riverside High School are purchasing tickets for students and their adult chaperones to go on a field trip to a nearby museum. For her class, Mrs. Levin bought 27 student tickets and 25 adult tickets, which cost a total of $614. Mr. Lawson spent $733, getting 27 student tickets and 32 adult tickets. What is the price for each type of ticket?

27S+25A=614
27S+32A=733
can solve
OR, the difference in cost, $119, is entirely due to 7 more adult tickets or $17 per adult ticket.
then $425+27S=$614; $189=27S, and student ticket cost is $7.
