Mr Heng paid a total of $56 for two adult and six child tickets. If a child ticket was
35 of the price of an adult ticket, what was the price of an adult ticket?

Adult ticket |
Total |
| Number |
6 |
2 |
|
| Value |
3 u |
5 u |
|
| Total value |
18 u |
10 u |
28 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 6 child tickets = 6 x 3 u = 18 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 5 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 5 u = 10 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 18 u + 10 u
= 28 u
28 u = 56
1 u = 56 ÷ 28 = 2
Price of an adult ticket
= 5 u
= 5 x 2
= $10
Answer(s): $10
