25 of the price of an adult ticket, what was the price of an adult ticket?

Total |
| Number |
8 |
2 |
|
| Value |
2 u |
5 u |
|
| Total value |
16 u |
10 u |
26 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 2 u
Price of 8 child tickets = 8 x 2 u = 16 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 5 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 5 u = 10 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 16 u + 10 u
= 26 u
26 u = 156
1 u = 156 ÷ 26 = 6
Price of a child ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 6
= $12
Answer(s): $12
