Answer:

The price of an adult ticket it $5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we would find the system of equations. We would set up two equations that will represent the situation.

Let c = price per children ticket

Let a = price per adult ticket

Santo:

5c + 1a = 16.25

Hulda:

4c + 3a = 24

5c + 1a = 16.25 -> a = 16.25 - 5c

4c + 3a = 24

4c + 3(16.25 - 5c) = 24

4c + 48.75 - 15c = 24

-11c + 48.75 = 24

       -48.75   -48.75

-11c = -24.75

/-11       /-11

c = 2.25

5c + a = 16.25

5(2.25) + a = 16.25

11.25 + a = 16.25

-11.25        -11.25

a = 5

a = $5 , c = $2.25
