The answer is, senior tickets are 8 dollars each and child tickets are 14 dollars each

Step-by-step answer

On the second day they mad 52 dollars only buy having one more child meaning that children tickets cos more. First you subtract 38 to 52 (52-38). You will then get 14 and subtract 14 to 38. After you get 24 you have to divide by three to see how much each senior ticket cost. You should then get 8.
