Answer:

2 dollars for kids

5 dollars for adults

Explanation:

We will let x= children

y= adult

we know that

33x+42y=276

46x+40y=292

There are a lot of ways you can solve this but I think it's easiest if we use (what I think is called elimination)

we will start by mulitiplying the second equation by 1.05 to get

48.3x+42y= 306.6

We will subtract the first equation from the second to get

15.3x= 30.6

Solve for x and get 2

Now that we know what x equals we can plug that into any equation and solve for y

we have

33(2)+42y=276

y=5
