The school that Scott goes to is selling tickets to a fall musical. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 12 adult tickets and 10 student tickets for a total of $196. The school took in $59 on the second day by selling 3 adult tickets and 5 student tickets. What is the price each of one adult ticket and one student ticket

The price of one adult ticket = $13

The price of one student ticket = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 adult ticket = x

Let the price of 1 student ticket = y

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 12 adult tickets and 10 student tickets for a total of $196.

12 × x + 10 × y = $196

12x + 10y = 196 Equation 1

The school took in $59 on the second day by selling 3 adult tickets and 5 student tickets

3 × x + 5 × y = $59

3x + 5y = 59 Equation 2

Using Elimination method

We eliminate y, by Multiplying equation 1 by 5 and Equation 2 by 10

12x + 10y = 196 Equation 1 × 5

3x + 5y = 59 Equation 2 × 10

60x + 50y = 980 Equation 3

30x + 50y = 590 Equation 4

Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3

30x = 390

x = 390/30

x = $13

Therefore, the price of one adult ticket = $13

Remember: x = $13

3x + 5y = 59 Equation 2

Substitute

3(13) + 5y = 59

39 + 5y = 59

5y = 59 - 39

5y = 20

y = 20/5

y = $4

Therefore, the price of one student ticket = $4
