| Value |
3 u |
4 u |
|
| Total value |
12 u |
8 u |
20 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 4 child tickets = 4 x 3 u = 12 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 4 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 4 u = 8 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 12 u + 8 u
= 20 u
20 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 20 = 9
Price of a child ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 9
= $27
Answer(s): $27
