Let's assume the price of an adult ticket is $x.
Since each child ticket costs $3 less than an adult ticket, the price of a child ticket is $x - $3.
The total cost of three adult tickets is 3 * $x = $3x.
The total cost of three child tickets is 3 * ($x - $3) = $3x - $9.
The total cost of all tickets is $75:
$3x + ($3x - $9) = $75
6x - 9 = 75
6x = 84
x = 14
Therefore, the price of an adult ticket is $14, and the price of a child ticket is $11.
So the answer is "an adult ticket is $14 and a child ticket is $11".
Three adult and three child movie tickets were purchased for $75. The cost of each child ticket is $3 less than the cost of an adult ticket. Find the price of each ticket. (1 point)
