15 u |
10 u |
25 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 5 child tickets = 5 x 3 u = 15 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 5 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 5 u = 10 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 15 u + 10 u
= 25 u
25 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 25 = 6
Price of a child ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 6
= $18
Answer(s): $18
