Question

The school that Ted goes to is selling tickets to a play. On the first day of ticket sales the school

sold 7 senior citizen tickets and 8 child tickets for a total of $147. The school took in $158 on the

second day by selling 10 senior citizen tickets and 4 child tickets. Find the price of a senior

citizen ticket and the price of a child ticket.

Answer 1

OK, so what's going on here? Ticket sales to a play. Figure out what? The price of two kinds of tickets. Important details: Two days of sales of senior and child tickets. Let S be the price of one senior ticket and C be the price of one child ticket. Now write two math sentences about the two days of ticket sales.

7S + 8C = 147

10S + 4C = 158

Use elimination to cancel out the Cs and then solve for S. Plug the value for S into the 2nd equation and solve for C. Good luck!

Answer 2

7s + 8c = 147

10s + 4c = 148

Can you solve the system and answer?
