The Scarpaci family and the Bwanika family went to a basketball game together. The Scarpaci family bought 2 adult tickets and 1 child ticket for a total cost of $38. The Bwanika family bought 3 adult tickets and 2 child tickets for a total cost of $61.


What is the price of each type of ticket (adult and child) at this basketball game?

2x + y = 38

3x + 2y = 61

Adult = $15

Child = $8
