The clerk tells them that a child's ticket always costs $11 less than an adult's ticket. How much is each adult ticket and how much is each child's ticket?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Family
2 adults
3 kids
Family rate 174.45
adult ticket = 44.95
$ 11 less always
Child's ticket = 33.95
adult ticket cost x
child ticket cost y
y==33.95
2x+3y=174.45
y=33.95
2x+101.85=174.95
2x=174.95-101.85
2x=73.10
x=36.55 adults ticket cost
