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

Answer: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
