Jones family bought two adult tickets and two child tickets and spent a total of $184. How much does an
adult ticket cost and how much does a child ticket cost?

Answer :

Answer:

Adult ticket is $60

Child ticket is $32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = price of adult ticket

     y = price of child ticket

(1)    175x + 103y = 13796               (2)    2x + 2y = 184

                                                                 x + y = 92

                                                                       y = 92 - x

      175x + 103(92 - x) = 13796

      175x + 9476 - 103x = 13796

       72x = 4320

           x = 60                                                  y = 92 - 60

                                                                        y = 32
