Aliyah's school is selling tickets to the annual dance competition.

On the first day of ticket sales, the school sold 8 senior citizen tickets and 15 child tickets for a total of $266.

On the second day, the school took in $168 by selling 8 senior citizen tickets and 8 child tickets.

What is the price of one senior citizen ticket and one child ticket?

Algebra is one of the numerous subfields of mathematics. The study of mathematical symbols and the rules for employing them in formulas is commonly referred to as algebra, which runs across almost all of mathematics.

S represents the senior citizen ticket cost.

C is the child's ticket cost.

Price is expressed as USD per ticket.

8S + 15C = 266

8S + 8C = 168

Subtract both equations now to get rid of S

8S + 15C = 266

8S + 8C = 168

———————————-

7C = 98

C = 98/7

C = $14

Changing the value of C in the first

8S + 15(14) = 266

8S + 210 = 266

8S = 266 - 210

8S = 56

S = 56 / 8

S = $7

Hence, $7 is the price for senior citizen

And, $14 is the price for child
