16 u |
28 u |
44 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 4 u
Price of 4 child tickets = 4 x 4 u = 16 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 7 u
Price of 4 adult tickets = 4 x 7 u = 28 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 16 u + 28 u
= 44 u
44 u = 176
1 u = 176 ÷ 44 = 4
Price of an adult ticket
= 7 u
= 7 x 4
= $28
Answer(s): $28
