Result: Admission to the art museum is priced at $9.75 per ticket.
Art museum tickets cost more compared to those at the science museum.

Accordingly, the cost per ticket for the science museum is =
.
∴ Each ticket to the science museum costs $8.5 (not $8.75).
The formula
calculates the cost in dollars, y, received by the art museum for x tickets sold.
By setting x=1, we find y=9.75.
∴ The ticket price for the art museum is $9.75.
It’s clear that 9.75>8.5
∴ Tickets to the art museum are costlier than those to the science museum.
Assuming the same number of tickets are sold, the art museum would generate higher revenue.
