Question

Crystal is selling tickets for her school fair. On the first day she sold 3 senior citizen tickets and one child tickets for a total $38. On the second day she got $52 by selling 3 senior citizens and 2 child. Find the price of a senior citizen ticket and the price of a child ticket

Answer 1

$11.5= senior citizen $8.75= child

Explanation:

First you guess the number of citizens by seeing what 38 divided by 3 is. Once you get the quotient you keep guessing down to get it to a number that both the 3 senior citizens and 1 child can fit. I got $11.5= senior citizen $8.75= child. Next you multiply 11.5 * 3 =34.5 and 8.75*2= 17.5 and add to get 52!

Hope this helped it was my first time ever answering on here!
