Question

andrews family spent 410 on 2 adult tickets to go to the concert. maxs family spent 375 on 3 tickets and 2 child tickets 3 how much is the adult ticket how much is a child ticket

Answer 1

Let 'x' represents the cost of the ticket for an adult, and 'y' be the cost of a child's ticket.

Andrew's family spend 410 on two adult tickets.

`2x=410`

From the above expression,

`\begin{gathered} x=(410)/(2) \\ =205 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the cost of an adult ticket is 205.

Given that the Max's family spend 375 for 3 tickes, and two of them is for childrens.

`\begin{gathered} x+2y=375 \\ 205+2y=375 \\ 2y=375-205 \\ 2y=170 \\ y=(170)/(2) \\ y=85 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the cost for tickets for the childrens is 85.
