Me mccory buys 12 students tickets and 12 adult tickets to a play. the total amount she pays for the tickets is 359.40. if the price of each student ticket is 10.25, what is a, the price of each adult ticket

the cost of each adult ticket is 19.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the cost of each adult ticket.

The cost of each student ticket is 10.25.

Me Mccory buys 12 students tickets and 12 adult tickets to a play. The total amount she pays for the tickets is 359.40. This means that

12 × 10.25 + 12y = 359.40

123 + 12y = 359.4

Subtracting 123 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

123 - 123 + 12y = 359.4 - 123

12y = 236.4

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 12, it becomes

12y/12 = 236.4/12

y = 19.7
