Total value |
24 u |
40 u |
64 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 4 u
Price of 6 child tickets = 6 x 4 u = 24 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 5 u
Price of 8 adult tickets = 8 x 5 u = 40 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 24 u + 40 u
= 64 u
64 u = 192
1 u = 192 ÷ 64 = 3
Price of a child ticket
= 4 u
= 4 x 3
= $12
Answer(s): $12
