20 u |
10 u |
30 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 4 u
Price of 5 child tickets = 5 x 4 u = 20 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 5 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 5 u = 10 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 20 u + 10 u
= 30 u
30 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 30 = 4
Price of an adult ticket
= 5 u
= 5 x 4
= $20
Answer(s): $20
