Let the price of senior ticket be x and the price of child ticket be y.

On the fist day, as Molly schools got a total 37 by selling 6 senior and 1 child ticket

Therefore, it can written in mathematically as,


6x+y=37

Similarly, on the second day, Mollys scholol got a total of 225 by selling 14 senior tickets and 13 childs ticket.

Therfore, it can be written mathematically as,


14x+13y=225

On solving the above linear simontanious equation in x and y,

Hence, the price of a senior ticket is 4 and the price of a child ticket is 14.
