Answer:

the first problem is - 85 and you continue from there

We have the price of a senior ticket is $4 and the price of a child ticket is $7

Explanation:

We can form two equations, let the price of a senior ticket be s and the price of a child ticket be c.

We have from day 1:

A: 3s + 9c = 75

And from day 2:

B: 8s + 5c = 67

Now we can rewrite A as:

A: 24s + 72c = 600

And can rewrite B as:

B: 24s + 15c = 201

Now A-B can be written as:

A-B: 57c = 399

So c = 7

Now substituting this back into A we get:

A: 3s + 63 = 75

A: 3s = 12

So s = 4

We have the price of a senior ticket is $4 and the price of a child ticket is $7
