Answer 1

The car show sold the same number of general admission tickets as student discount tickets. The student tickets cost $6.00 less than the general admission tickets. The total amount of money collected for student tickets was $1800 and for general admission tickets, $3000. What was the price of a general admission ticket?

Answer 2

# of tickets =y
the price for general =x
the price for student=x-6
y*(x-6)=1800
y*(x)=3000 ---->y=3000/x
put the value of y into the first one
(3000/x)(x-6)=1800
3000-18000/x=1800
-18000/x=1800-3000=-1200
x=-18000/-1200=15

Answer 3

students price =15-6=9
