i got the answer by guess and check i got the same as pime
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 $4 kids.
kids is 7$ and seniors for 4$s i got the answer by checking!
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.
kids- $7
senior citizens- $4
we guessed and checked all the #s and got the same answer as miles and pime
7 bucks for kids and 4 bucks for the oldies. Piece out K-town.
The seniors tickets are $4 and the kids are $7.
Went through many numbers then I guessed and checked.
- Amberpricee.
7$ for kids
4$ for kids
I used the check and guess with #'s using caculators
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!
answer: seniors $7 and children $4
I did the same as Dominic because I was sorta confused at first, then I checked what he did and i got the same. ($7- seniors, $4- kids)
i made a mistake i ment
7$ for kids
4$ for senior citizens
3 sc 9 chi.=75
67= 8sc 5 chi. 3x4=12
+
9x7=63
75 \\\\
so it equals out
mRS. nELSON THIS ONE WAS TRICKY MRS. FOGG HAD A HARD TIME FIGURING IT OUT TOO
kid=7
senior citizens=4
Because i pluged in small numbers first then worked my way up until the distribute is proper
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.
katelyn and allysea realizied it is not 7 for seniors and 4 for kids its 4 for seniors and 7 for kids
new answer: seniors $4 and kids are $7
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.
I actually made a mistake in my other blog the real answers are $7 for children and $9 for seniors.

i made a misteak(im hungry)on my last comment. its kids $7 and old people $4.
4*3=12 plus 5*9=45 =67
sorry
