Answer:
2x + 4y = $50
x = $5, and y = $10
Step-by-step explanation:
let the price of student's ticket be represented by $x, and that of adult by $y. So that:
2x + 4y = $50 ................ 1
But, given that adult tickets are $5 more that student tickets.
i.e y = x + $5 ................. 2
Substitute equation 2 into 1, to have;
2x + 4(x + $5) = $50
2x + 4x + $20 = $50
6x = $30
x = $5
From equation 2,
y = 5 + 5
= $10
Therefore, the price of student tickets is $5 and adult tickets is $10.
