Total |
| Number |
4 |
3 |
|
| Value |
5 u |
6 u |
|
| Total value |
20 u |
18 u |
38 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 5 u
Price of 4 child tickets = 4 x 5 u = 20 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 6 u
Price of 3 adult tickets = 3 x 6 u = 18 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 20 u + 18 u
= 38 u
38 u = 190
1 u = 190 ÷ 38 = 5
Price of an adult ticket
= 6 u
= 6 x 5
= $30
Answer(s): $30
