Respuesta :

Answer:

a+c=27

195a+320c=6515

Step-by-step explanation:

adult (a): 195

children (c): 320

total $: $6515

child $: 27

a+c=27 --> c=-a+27

195a+320c=6515

sub the first equation into the 2nd equation to get a=17

sub a=17 into c=-a+27 to get c=10

so, an adult ticket is $17 and a child ticket is $10.
