Find out the price of an adult ticket.

Answer 1

Answer:

dollar 15.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 adult ticket= dollar x

∴Total money from adult tickets= dollar 18500×x

                                                    = dollar 18500x

Cost of 1 child ticket= dollar x - 2.50

∴Total money from child tickets= dollar 2400×(x-2.50)

                                                    = dollar (2400x-6000)

∴Total money= dollar (18500x+2400x+6000)

                      = dollar 20900x + 6000

∴ As per the question, the so formed equation:

  20900x + 6000=320040

⇒20900x=320040-6000

                =314040

⇒x=314040÷20900

    = 15.02

Answer 2

Answer:

$15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

18500x + 2400(x-2.50)=320040

18500x + 2400x - 6000= 320040

20900x = 320040 + 6000

20900x = 326040

x = 326040/ 20900

x = $15.6
