Melanie bought 3 adult tickets and 1 children ticket for $38. John bought 3 adult tickets and 2 children tickets for $52. What is the cost of each type of ticket
If the cost of adult ticket is x and that of children ticket is y Then 3x +y = $38 3x+2y =$52, solving simultaneously we subtract the two equation, -y = -14 thus; y =14 to get x we substitute y with 14 3x = 38-14 3x =24 x =8 Therefore, the cost of 1 adult ticket is $8 while the cost of children ticket is $14
