Problema Solution
The city zoo has different admission prices for adults and children. When three adults and two children went to the zoo, the bill was $78.25. If two adults and three children got in for $73.85, then what is the price of an adult's ticket and what is the price of a child's ticket?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let no. of adults be x and no. of children be y.
Then,
3x+2y=78.25
2x+3y=73.85
or, x=17.41, y=13.01
