Answer:the price of one child ticket is $8

the price of one adult ticket is $12

Explanation:

Let x represent the price of one child ticket.

Let y represent the price of one adult ticket.

First tour is 4 child tickets and 8 adult tickets for 128 dollars. This means that

4x + 8y = 128 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Second tour is 6 adult tickets for 72 dollars. This means that

6y = 72

y = 72/6 = $12

Substituting y = 12 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 8 × 12= 128

4x + 96 = 128

4x = 128 - 96

4x = 32

x = 32/4 = $8
