    The cost per adult ticket is $13 and the cost per children ticket is $8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the cost of adult tickets be 'x'

    Let the cost of children tickets be 'y'

    2x + 3y = 50

    2x = 50 - 3y

    x = (50 - 3y) / 2

    3x + 4y = 71

    [3 (50-3y) / 2 ] + 4y = 71

    (150 - 9y) / 2 + 4y = 71

    150 - 9y + 8y = 142

    150 - y = 142

    y = 150 - 142

    y = 8

    x = (50-3y) / 2

    x = (50-24) / 2

    x = 13

    The cost per adult ticket is $13 and the cost per children ticket is $8
