Equation of Tristan

Hey, x + 15y = 40...... (ii) The

Equation with Keith

Around x + 10y = 30.......... Iii. (iii)

By solving Eq. (ii) and (iii), we are getting

x= 10

Y = 2

Therefore, entrance fees = $10

Price of a fare = $2 = $2

Please mark me as the most brainless as it will assist me in reaching the next step.
