An adult ticket is 12.50 and the child ticket is 9.50

An adult ticket is 14 and a child ticket is 11

An adult ticket is 11 and a child ticket is 8

An adult ticket is 8 and a child ticket is 5

Answer 1

Let's assume the cost of an adult ticket is A dollars.
According to the given information, the cost of each child ticket is $3 less than the cost of an adult ticket, so the cost of each child ticket is (A - $3) dollars.
If three adults and three children movie tickets were purchased for $75, we can form the equation:
3A + 3(A - $3) = $75
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3A + 3A - 9 = $75
6A - 9 = $75
Adding 9 to both sides:
6A = $84
Dividing both sides by 6:
A = $14
Therefore, the cost of an adult ticket is $14 and the cost of each child ticket is $14 - $3 = $11. So, the correct answer is: An adult ticket is $14 and a child ticket is $11.
