Question

The entrance fee to an amusement park is different for
adults and children. Together, a father and his child paid
28. A family of two adults and one child paid
together 44
What is the entrance fee for a child?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the adult be x, and child be y

so, x+y=28----------eq(ii)

and 2x+y= 44------eq(I)

subtracting eq(I) from eq(ii)

we get

x = 16! so one ticket for an adult will cost 16

so substituting x=16 in eq(ii) we get

16+y= 28

y= 28-16

y=12

the entry fee for the child is 12
