Given
Perry's school is selling tickets to a spring musical. On the first day of ticket sales, the school sold 2 adult tickets and 5 child tickets for a total of $44. The school took in $92 on the second day by selling 6 adult tickets and 5 child tickets.
Answer
Let the price of one adult ticket be x
And the price of one child ticket be y
A/Q
2x + 5 y = 44 (1)
6x + 5y = 92 (2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3
6x + 15 y = 132 (3)
Subtracting eq (2) and eq (3)
10y = 40
y = 4
Put value of y in (1)
2x + 5 (4)= 44
2x = 44 - 20
2x = 24
x = 12
Price of one adult ticket is $12
Price of one child ticket is $ 4
