i used the process of elimination.
i started with senior $10(there was less) and children as $5(there was more), but it didnt work.finally i got $7 for seniors and $4 kids.

First, I would set up a cross, multiply equation. That is when you times 2 numbers, and then divide. Then you get the answer. I check my work, and I got the same thing as Miles and Pime. Which is 7 dollars for senoirs and 4 dollars for children.

The seniors tickets are $4 and the kids are $7.

Went through many numbers then I guessed and checked.

katelyn and allysea used process of elimination we did seniors as 8 and children as 5 that did not work so we went down one and got seniors 7 and children 4 we tested it and it worked!

The answer is 4 for seniors and 7 for childern.

We just plugged in numbers and times by 3*4 and 9*7 and then took those 2 #'s added them together and got 75.

First we took 8*8 and it was too much then we guessed 4 for the senior citizens and 7 for children. We multiplied 8*4=32 and then we typed 5*7=35 then we added up 32+35 and it equals 67 and thats how we got our answer.
