5 u |
6 u |

| Total value |
15 u |
18 u |
33 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 5 u
Price of 3 child tickets = 3 x 5 u = 15 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 6 u
Price of 3 adult tickets = 3 x 6 u = 18 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 15 u + 18 u
= 33 u
33 u = 165
1 u = 165 ÷ 33 = 5
Price of a child ticket
= 5 u
= 5 x 5
= $25
Answer(s): $25
