child ticket?
pls help this is due in five mins

Answer 1

$10 for child tickets and $4 for adult tickets.

Explanation:

Let a = price of adult tickets

c = price of child tickets

(1) 12a + 6c = 108 (2) 2a + 12c = 128 Multiply (2) by -6

-12a - 72c = -768

-66c = -660

c = $10 2a + 12(10) = 128

2a + 120 = 128

2a = 8

a = $4

Something is wrong. The adult tickets should be more than the child tickets.

But, according to the info you have given, it comes out to $10 for child tickets and $4 for adult tickets.
