Konnor Buck · Answer 1

If we let x and y represent the prices of adult and child tickets, respectively, then we can write two equations based on the daily sales.

8x + 5y = 108

x + 14y = 67

A graphing calculator shows the solution of these equations to be

(x, y) = (11, 4)

The price of an adult ticket is $11.

The price of a child ticket is $4.
