| Number |
2 |
4 |
|
| Value |
5 u |
8 u |
|
| Total value |
10 u |
32 u |
42 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 5 u
Price of 2 child tickets = 2 x 5 u = 10 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 8 u
Price of 4 adult tickets = 4 x 8 u = 32 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 10 u + 32 u
= 42 u
42 u = 168
1 u = 168 ÷ 42 = 4
Price of a child ticket
= 5 u
= 5 x 4
= $20
Answer(s): $20
