Rasmussen College Circus Tickets Case & Elimination and Graphical Method Paper

The circus is coming to town, and Cindy is selling tickets.

The first day she sold 8 adult tickets and 5 children’s tickets for a total of $177.50 in sales.

The second day she received $255.00 for 12 adult tickets and 6 children’s tickets.

What is the price of a child’s ticket?

What is a price of an adult ticket?

To receive full credit for your solution you need to:

1.)write down two algebraic equations that model this circus ticket scenario.

2.)Show how you solved the problem by using the elimination method, the substitutional methodor graphical method. (other methods such as “guess and check” are not sufficient)
