Answer:

The admission cost of each adult is $11.5 and that of each children is $6.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the admission cost for children to the museum is $x.

So, the admission cost for adults to the museum is $(x + 5) {As per given condition}

Now, given that admission to the museum for Barbara and Jeff Johnson and their five children cost fifty-five dollars and fifty cents.

Hence, 2(x + 5) + 5x = 55.5

⇒ 7x = 45.5

⇒ x = $6.5  

So, $(x + 5) = $11.5

Therefore, the admission cost of each adult is $11.5 and that of each children is $6.5. (Answer)
