Question

A school is selling tickets to a

musical. On the first day of ticket
sales, they sold 5 senior citizen tickets
and 4 child tickets for a total of $46.
The school took in $22 on the second
day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets
and 1 child ticket. What is the
system of equations that could be
used here.

Answer 1

5s + 4c= 46 and 3s+c= 22

Explanation:

s is the cost of senior tickets and c is the cost of children tickets. and 5 times s plus 4 times c has to equal 46. 3 times s + c has to be 22.

Hope this is helpful. Not sure if it is though. :)
