school sold 5 adult tickets and 13 student tickets for a total of $221. The school took in $238 on
the second day by selling 10 adult tickets and 9 student tickets. What is the price each of one
adult ticket and one student ticket

Answer 1

Answer:

adult ticket = $5

student ticket = $9

step by step explanation:

on the first day

5 adult tickets+ 13 studen tickets = $221

on the second day

10 adult ticket + 9 student tickets = $238

so, we need to know how much is one ticket

on first day,on second day

5+13 = 18 members

10+9 = 19 members

total money,

221+238 = $459

459÷9= $51

9 student tickets is $51

5 adult tickets is: 459÷5= $ 91.8

so, 1 student ticket = 459÷51 = $ 9

and 1 adult ticket = 459÷91.8 = $ 5

one adult ticket = $ 5

one student ticket = $ 9
