Question

Jen butler has been pricing speed-pass train fares for a group trip to New York. Three adults and four children must pay$116. Two adults and three children must pay $82. Find the price of the adult’s ticket and the price of a child’s ticket

Answer 1

3a +4c = 116

2a +3c = 82

6a + 9c = 246

6a + 8c = 232

c = $14 per child

2a = 82 -3(14 = 82- 42 = 40

a = $20 per adult
