| Value |
2 u |
3 u |
|
| Total value |
4 u |
18 u |
22 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 2 u
Price of 2 child tickets = 2 x 2 u = 4 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 3 u
Price of 6 adult tickets = 6 x 3 u = 18 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 4 u + 18 u
= 22 u
22 u = 132
1 u = 132 ÷ 22 = 6
Price of a child ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 6
= $12
Answer(s): $12
