On the second day the school took $126 by selling 7 senior citizen tickets and 5 students tickets. What is the price of each ticket?
Let x = price of senior citizen ticket
Let y= price of student ticket Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I used
c for senior citizen and
s for student
4c+5s=102
7c+5s=126
3c=24
c=8
4*8+5s=102
32+5s=102
5s=70
s=14
check
7*8+70=126
56+70=126
126=126
ok
