The cost of a senior citizen ticket is $15 and the cost of a student ticket is $12.
How did I get this?
We know that 6 citizen tickets and 7 student stickers sold for $174 the first day. And 10 citizen tickets and 14 student tickets sold for $318 the second day.
1. create two equations out of this: C= citizen cost per ticket and S = student cost per ticket.
6C + 7S = $174
10C + 14S = $318
2. Use process of elimination. Multiply the first equation by 2 because we want two variables to cancel out.
-12C - 14S = -$348
10C + 14S = $318
Combine like terms.
-2C = $30
Divide by -2 on both sides. The left side cancels out.
C = $30/-2
C = -$15 (In this case the negative doesn't matter)
C = $15 (cost of senior citizen ticket)
Plug the value of C into any of the two equations so we can get the value of S.
6($15) + 7S = $174
Distribute the 6 into the parenthesis.
$90 + 7S = $174
Subtract both sides by $90 and the left side will cancel out.
7S = $84
Divide both sides by 7.
S = $12
Student ticket: $12
Senior citizen ticket: $15

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
25m + 10b = 400
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount that can be earned = $ 400
Amount earned on mowing a lawn = $ 25
Amount earned per hour on babysitting = $10
Amount earned for mowing one lawn is $ 25, so amount earned for mowing m lawns will be $ 25m
Amount earned for one hour of babysitting is $ 10, so amount earned for babysitting for b hours will be $ 10b
Total amount earned = Amount earned from mowing m lawns + Amount earned from babysitting for b hours
Using the values from above, we can set up the equation as:
400 = 25m + 10b
