Question

For a school concert, five adult
tickets and two student tickets cost
$48. Three adult and two student
tickets cost $32. What is the cost for
each student ticket? What is the
cost for each adult ticket?

Edana · Answer

$8 for adults and $4 for students

Tryphena · Answer

Adult tickets are $8 and student tickets are $4. Automatically, you can see that 2 less adult tickets costs $16 less so cut that in half and adult tickets are $8. Use these equations:  5x + 2y = 48  3x + 2y = 32  plug in 8 for x and solve.  Hope it helps!
