The price for an adult carnival ticket is 6.5 more than a carnival ticket for a child. Bob takes his son to the carnival. He buys cotton candy for $10.25, and spends $55. Write and solve a linear equation to find the prices for each of their carnival tickets.
Assign variable (x) to the expensive ticket (x - 6.5) - 10.25 = 55 -------- Simplify x+16.75=55 ------------- Subtract 16.75 to each side x=38.25 ----------------------- x = 38.25 This should be the highest ticket price 55 - 38.25 = 16.75 This is the lowest ============================================================== Note: I'm not postive on this answer, so please my apologies if it is wrong, please tell if so, I'll be sure to fix it
