Answer: $9.50

Step-by-step explanation:Let's define the variables:

A = price of one adult ticket.

S = price of one student ticket.

We know that:

"On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets for a total of $69."

1*A + 6*S = $69

"The school took in $150 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and student tickets"

7*A + 7*S = $150

Then we have a system of equations:

A + 6*S = $69

7*A + 7*S = $150.

To solve this, we should start by isolating one variable in one of the equations, let's isolate A in the first equation:

A = $69 - 6*S

Now let's replace this in the other equation:

7*($69 - 6*S) + 7*S = $150

Now we can solve this for S.

$483 - 42*S + 7*S = $150

$483 - 35*S = $150

$483 - $150 = 35*S

$333 = 35*S

$333/35 = S

$9.51 = S

That we could round to $9.50

That is the price of one student ticket.
