Question

Jen butler has been pricing speed-pass train fares for a group trip to new york. Three adults and four children must pay $121. Two adults and three children must pay $86. Find the price of the adults ticket and the price of a child's ticket.

Answer 1

Say, adults ticket =x

       children ticket =y

 

3x+4y=121

2x+3y=86

 

Solve the above two equations

 

x=19

y=16

 

So adult ticket=19$

Children ticket= 16$
