Let:
x = price of the grandstand ticket
y = price of the general admission ticket
The price of 6 grandstand tickets and 4 general admission tickets is $3200, so:
[tex]6x+4y=3200[/tex]The price of 8 grandstand tickets and 8 general admission tickets is $4880, so:
[tex]8x+8y=4880[/tex]Let:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6x+4y=3200_{\text{ }}(1) \\ 8x+8y=4880_{\text{ }}(2) \end{gathered}[/tex]Using elimination method:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(1)-(2)\colon_{} \\ 12x-8x+8y-8y=6400-4880 \\ 4x=1520 \\ x=\frac{1520}{4} \\ x=380 \end{gathered}[/tex]replace the value of x into (1):
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6(380)+4y=3200 \\ 2280+4y=3200 \\ 4y=3200-2280 \\ 4y=920 \\ y=\frac{920}{4} \\ y=230 \end{gathered}[/tex]The price of the grandstand ticket is $380 and the price of the general admission ticket is $230
