Question

The student tickets cost $6.00 less than the general admission tickets. The total amount of money collected for student tickets was $1800 and for general admission tickets, $3000. What was the price of a general admission ticket?

$15
$9
$12
$6

Answer 1

From what I can see, this problem doesn't have any unique solution.

Explanation:

Call the cost of an adult ticket `x` and the cost of a student ticket `y`.

`y = x - 6`

Now, we let the number of tickets sold be `a` for the students and `b` for the adults.

`ay = 1800`

`bx= 3000`

We are left with a system of `3` equations with `4` variables which has no unique solution.

Perhaps the question is missing a piece of information??. Please let me know.

Hopefully this helps!
