Answers
Answer 1
Answer:
2a + 2s = 37.50
a + 3s = 35.25
-2a - 6s = -70.50
-4s = -33.00
s = 8.25
2a + 2(8.25) = 37.50
2a + 16.50 = 37.50
2a = 21.00
a = 10.50
The answer is one adult ticket costs $10.50 and one student ticket costs $8.25.
a + 3s = 35.25
-2a - 6s = -70.50
-4s = -33.00
s = 8.25
2a + 2(8.25) = 37.50
2a + 16.50 = 37.50
2a = 21.00
a = 10.50
The answer is one adult ticket costs $10.50 and one student ticket costs $8.25.
