6 u |
7 u |
|
| Total value |
12 u |
28 u |
40 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 6 u
Price of 2 child tickets = 2 x 6 u = 12 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 7 u
Price of 4 adult tickets = 4 x 7 u = 28 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 12 u + 28 u
= 40 u
40 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 40 = 3
Price of a child ticket
= 6 u
= 6 x 3
= $18
Answer(s): $18
