Two different families pay for entry into a water park. Family 1 has 2 adults and 3 children and costs a total of £20 to enter the park.
Family 2 has 1 adult and 4 children and costs a total of £15 to enter the park.
Work out the cost of the adult ticket, and the child ticket.

Adult ticket: $7

Child ticket: $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations where a represents the cost of one adult ticket and c is the cost of one child ticket:

2a + 3c = 20

a + 4c = 15

Solve by elimination by multiplying the bottom equation by -2:

2a + 3c = 20

-2a -8c = -30

Add them together:

-5c = -10

c = 2

Now, we can plug in 2 as c to find the value of a:

2a + 3c = 20

2a + 3(2) = 20

2a + 6 = 20

2a = 14

a = 7

step-by-step explanation:

(s)he  is right it would be 5.5% because it is smaller than 15.5% or anything smaller than 15.5% in general
