A senior center purchase tickets for a magic show at the Rose Center. One week they paid $108 for 6 tickets in section A and 10 tickets in section B. The following week, they paid $104 for 4 tickets in section A and 12 tickets in section B. What is the price of the tickets in section A?
***
6A+10B=108
4A+12B=104
..
36A+60B=648 (mult. eq by 6)
20A+60B=520 (mult. eq by 5)
subtract:
16A=128
A=8
10B=108-6A=108-48=60
B=6
What is the price of the tickets in section A? $8.00
