Answer 1

Adult-. $4

Student-. $2.50

Explanation:

equation

1a + 3s = $11.50

3a + 2s = $17.00

$4+$2.50(3)=$11.50

$12+$2.50(2)=$17.00

or

1($4)+3($2.50)=$11.50

3($4)+2($2.50)=$17.00

sorry if this is a little confusing, this is a simpler equation-

$4.00+($2.50x3)=$11.50

($4.00x3)+($2.50x2)=$17.00
