18 u |
28 u |
46 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 6 child tickets = 6 x 3 u = 18 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 4 u
Price of 7 adult tickets = 7 x 4 u = 28 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 18 u + 28 u
= 46 u
46 u = 184
1 u = 184 ÷ 46 = 4
Price of a child ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 4
= $12
Answer(s): $12
