On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 10 child tickets for a total of $82. The school took in $67 on the second day by selling 8 senior citizen tickets And 5 child tickets. What is the price of each ticket?

Let the number of child tickets be c
Let the number of senior citizen tickets be s

We're given two equations:

1. 10c + 3s = 82
2. 5c + 8s = 67

We have a system of simultaneous equations. We can solve it using any one of 3 ways:

• Substitution Method
• Elimination Method
• Cramer's Rule

No matter what method we choose, we get:

• c = 7
• s = 4
