2 u |
3 u |

Total value |
10 u |
6 u |
16 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 2 adult tickets = 2 x 3 u = 6 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 10 u + 6 u
= 16 u
16 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 16 = 2
Price of a child ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 2
= $4
Answer(s): $4
