2 u |
7 u |

| Total value |
6 u |
21 u |
27 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 2 u
Price of 3 child tickets = 3 x 2 u = 6 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 7 u
Price of 3 adult tickets = 3 x 7 u = 21 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 6 u + 21 u
= 27 u
27 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 27 = 2
Price of a child ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 2
= $4
Answer(s): $4
