Let the price of a silver ticket be x.
The price of a gold ticket is x + $8.
Patrick bought 10 silver tickets, so he spent 10x dollars.
Patrick also bought 10 gold tickets, so he spent 10(x + $8) dollars.
Patrick spent a total of $140, so we can write the equation: 10x + 10(x + $8) = $140
Simplifying the equation, we get: 10x + 10x + $80 = $140
Combining like terms, we get: 20x + $80 = $140
Subtracting $80 from both sides, we get: 20x = $60
Dividing both sides by 20, we get: x = $3
Therefore, the price of each silver ticket is $3.
The price of each gold ticket is x + $8 = $3 + $8 = $11. Answer: \boxed{3, 11}.
There are 2 types of tickets to attend an awards dinner—silver and gold. The gold tickets are $8 more than the silver. If Patrick bought 10 tickets at each level and spent a total of $140, find the price of each ticket.(1 point)
