Mr Hun paid a total of $126 for two adult and six child tickets. If a child ticket was
14 of the price of an adult ticket, what was the price of an adult ticket?

| Number |
6 |
2 |

| Value |
1 u |
4 u |
|
| Total value |
6 u |
8 u |
14 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 1 u
Price of 6 child tickets = 6 x 1 u = 6 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 4 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 4 u = 8 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 6 u + 8 u
= 14 u
14 u = 126
1 u = 126 ÷ 14 = 9
Price of an adult ticket
= 4 u
= 4 x 9
= $36
Answer(s): $36
