Question

emily's school is selling tickets to a choral performance on the first day of ticket sales the school sold 14 senior citizen tickets and 9 child tickets for a total of 227 the school took in 109 on the second say by selling 2 senior citizen tickets and 9 child tickets find the price of a senior citizen ticket and the price of a child ticket

Answer 1

14S +9C = 227

2S + 9C = 109

subtract to eliminate C

12S = 118

S = $9.83 senior tickets

C = (109-19.67/9 = $ 9.93 for child tickets

14(9.83) + 9(9.93) = 137.62 + 89.37 = $226.99

2(9.83) + 9(9.93) = 19.66 + 89.37 = $109.03

2 cents went missing somewhere, maybe it's still on the floor

or the accountants missed a count once or twice.
