Let x,yx , y , and zz represent the cost for children tickets, student tickets, and general admission tickets, respectively. Set up an augmented matrix for the system and solve for x,yx , y , and zz . Explain what the accountant knows about the reported earnings.


A) { } ; The system of equations reduces to a contradiction. There are no values for x,yx , y , and zz that can simultaneously meet the conditions of this problem.
B) {(7,7,16) }\{ ( 7,7,16 ) \} ; There were $7\$ 7 children's tickets, $7\$ 7 student tickets, and $16\$ 16 general admission tickets sold.
C) {(8,8,17) }\{ ( 8,8,17 ) \} ; There were $8\$ 8 children's tickets, $8\$ 8 student tickets, and $17\$ 17 general admission tickets sold.
D) {(6,6,15) }\{ ( 6,6,15 ) \} ; There were $6\$ 6 children's tickets, $6\$ 6 student tickets, and $15\$ 15 general admission tickets sold.
