nine kids and two adults are going to the circus. kids tickets are on sale for only half the price of adult tickets. the total cost was $72. how much is one kids ticket. how much is one adult ticket

kids ticket = $X each.

Adult tickets = $2X each.

9x + 2*2x = 72. X = ?.

I want to know that answer plzzzzzz

To find the cost of one kids ticket and one adult ticket, we need to set up a system of equations based on the given information.

Let's assume the cost of one adult ticket is "x" dollars. Since the cost of a kids ticket is half the price of an adult ticket, the cost of one kids ticket would be "0.5x" dollars.

Now, we know that there are nine kids and two adults going to the circus, and the total cost of all the tickets is $72. We can set up the equation:

(9 * 0.5x) + (2 * x) = 72

Multiplying out the terms, we get:

4.5x + 2x = 72

Combining like terms, we have:

6.5x = 72

To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 6.5:

x = 72 / 6.5

Evaluating this, we find that the cost of one adult ticket is approximately $11.08.

To calculate the cost of one kids ticket, substitute the value of x into "0.5x":

0.5 * 11.08 = $5.54.

Therefore, one kids ticket costs approximately $5.54, and one adult ticket costs approximately $11.08.

Just stop it Anonymous.
