    The price of a senior ticket $14 and that for a student is $4

    Explanation:

    let X be senior citizen, and y for student

    2x + 2y = 36 ... (1)

    5x + 2y = 78 ... (2)

    3x = 42

    X = 42/3 = 14

    Using Equation 1

    2x + 2y = 36 ... (1)

    2 (14) + 2y = 36

    28 + 2y = 36

    2y = 36-28

    y = 8/2 = 4
