Total |
| Number |
6 |
3 |
|
| Value |
4 u |
7 u |
|
| Total value |
24 u |
21 u |
45 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 4 u
Price of 6 child tickets = 6 x 4 u = 24 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 7 u
Price of 3 adult tickets = 3 x 7 u = 21 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 24 u + 21 u
= 45 u
45 u = 180
1 u = 180 ÷ 45 = 4
Price of a child ticket
= 4 u
= 4 x 4
= $16
Answer(s): $16
