| Total value |
4 u |
9 u |
13 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 2 u
Price of 2 child tickets = 2 x 2 u = 4 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 3 u
Price of 3 adult tickets = 3 x 3 u = 9 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 4 u + 9 u
= 13 u
13 u = 104
1 u = 104 ÷ 13 = 8
Price of a child ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 8
= $16
Answer(s): $16
