Brianna's family spent $134 on 2 adult tickets and 3 youth tickets at an amusement park. max's family spent $146 on 3 adults tickets and 2 youth tickets. what is the price of a youth ticket?

The price of 1 youth ticket is $ 22

Solution:

Let "y" be the price of 1 youth ticket

Let "a" be the price of 1 adult ticket

To find: price of 1 youth ticket

Brianna's family spent $134 on 2 adult tickets and 3 youth tickets at an amusement park

So we can frame a equation as:

2 adult tickets x price of 1 adult ticket + 3 youth tickets x price of 1 youth ticket = 134

2a + 3y = 134 ---- eqn 1

Max's family spent $146 on 3 adults tickets and 2 youth tickets

So we can frame a equation as:

3 adult tickets x price of 1 adult ticket + 2 youth tickets x price of 1 youth ticket = 146

3a + 2y = 146 ----- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "y"

Multiply eqn 1 by 3

6a + 9y = 402 ---- eqn 3

Multiply eqn 2 by 2

6a + 4y = 292 ----- eqn 4

Subtract eqn 4 from eqn 3

6a + 9y = 402

6a + 4y = 292

( - ) -------------------

5y = 110

y = 22

Thus the price of 1 youth ticket is $ 22

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.
