At a local basketball game, all tickets are the same price and all souvenirs are the same price. Mr. Smith brought 2 tickets to this basketball game and 1 souvenir for a total of $17.25. Ms Lockhart brought 5 tickets to the same game and 2 souvenir for a total $42.00. How much was a ticket to this game? A)$2.25 B)$7.50 C)$8.50 D)$9.75

7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x> the cost of one ticket to the basketball game

y> the cost of one souvenir

we know that

2x+y=17.25

y=-2x+17.25 > equation A

5x+2y=42 > equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for x

5x+2(-2x+17.25)=42

5x-4x+34.50=42

x=42-34.50=\$7.5
