| Total value |
3 u |
9 u |
12 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 1 u
Price of 3 child tickets = 3 x 1 u = 3 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 3 u
Price of 3 adult tickets = 3 x 3 u = 9 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 3 u + 9 u
= 12 u
12 u = 96
1 u = 96 ÷ 12 = 8
Price of an adult ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 8
= $24
Answer(s): $24
