23 of the price of an adult ticket, what was the price of an adult ticket?

Total |
| Number |
6 |
2 |
|
| Value |
2 u |
3 u |
|
| Total value |
12 u |
6 u |
18 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 2 u
Price of 6 child tickets = 6 x 2 u = 12 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 3 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 3 u = 6 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 12 u + 6 u
= 18 u
18 u = 162
1 u = 162 ÷ 18 = 9
Price of a child ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 9
= $18
Answer(s): $18
