Total value |
6 u |
4 u |
10 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 1 u
Price of 6 child tickets = 6 x 1 u = 6 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 2 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 2 u = 4 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 6 u + 4 u
= 10 u
10 u = 140
1 u = 140 ÷ 10 = 14
Price of an adult ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 14
= $28
Answer(s): $28
