| Number |
4 |
3 |
|
| Value |
2 u |
5 u |
|
| Total value |
8 u |
15 u |
23 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 2 u
Price of 4 child tickets = 4 x 2 u = 8 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 5 u
Price of 3 adult tickets = 3 x 5 u = 15 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 8 u + 15 u
= 23 u
23 u = 46
1 u = 46 ÷ 23 = 2
Price of a child ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 2
= $4
Answer(s): $4
