Answer:the cost of a children's ticket is $3

Explanation:

Let x represent the cost of an adult ticket.

Let y represent the cost of a child ticket.

200 adult tickets and 100 children tickets are sold. The revenue is 2100. This means that

200x + 300y = 2100 - - - - - - - - - 1

An adult movie ticket cost $3 more than a child's ticket. This means that

x = y + 3

Substituting x = y + 3 into equation 1, it becomes

200(y + 3) + 300y = 2100

200y + 600 + 300y = 2100

200y + 300y = 2100 - 600

500y = 1500

y = 1500/5 = 3

x = y + 3 = 3 + 3 = $6
