Step-by-step explanation:

S=student cost; T=teacher cost

.

32S+3T=$127 . Multiply this by 2.

64S+6T=$254 Subtract this below

.

25S+2T=$97.50 . Multiply this by 3.

75S+6T=$292.50

64S+6T=$254 . Subtract this (from above.)

.

11S=$38.50

S=$3.50

ANSWER 1: Student tickets cost $3.50.


.

32S+3T=$127

32($3.50)+3T=$127

$112+3T=$127

3T=$15

T=$5.00
