Answer:

cost of admission for each child was $4.00, and each adult was $25.33

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving questions like these , I like to break down the problem so I understand it better.

Let x ---> cost of the admission for each child

Y ---------> cost of the admission for each adult

9x+3y = 112 ---> equation A

8x + 3y = 108 ---> equation B

Subtract B from A

9x+3y=112

-8x+3y = 108

x = 112-108

x = 4

Find value of y by substituting value of x into equation

9(4)+3y=112

Solve for y

36+3y = 112

3y = 112=36

3y = 76

y = 25.33
