| Value |
2 u |
3 u |
|
| Total value |
10 u |
15 u |
25 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 2 u
Price of 5 child tickets = 5 x 2 u = 10 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 3 u
Price of 5 adult tickets = 5 x 3 u = 15 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 10 u + 15 u
= 25 u
25 u = 75
1 u = 75 ÷ 25 = 3
Price of a child ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 3
= $6
Answer(s): $6
