Given:

The total cost of 6 tickets for concerts A and 6 tickets for concert B is $1262

The cost of three tickets for concert B is $687.

Required:

To find an average ticket cost for each tour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of tickets for concert A is x and for concert B be y.

Now by using the given information we will make the linear equation.

Then the equations become:


\begin{gathered} 6x+6y=1262.....(1) \\ 3y=687......(2) \end{gathered}

We will solve equation (2) for y.


\begin{gathered} 3y=687 \\ y=(687)/(3) \\ y=229 \end{gathered}

Now substitute the value of y in equation (1) and get the value of x.
