Question

The school that Stefan goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance. On the first

day of ticket sales the school sold 40 senior citizen tickets and 20 child tickets for $740
On the second day, the school sold 60 senior citizen tickets and 25 child tickets for
$1075. What was the price of each ticket?

Answer 1

Explanation:

40s + 20c = 740

60s + 25c = 1075

60s = 1110 - 30c

1110 - 30c = 1075 - 25c

1110 - 1075 = 5c

35 = 5c

child tickets = $7

40s + 140 = 740

40s = 600

4s = 60

senior citizen tickets = $15
