6 |

| Value |
3 u |
7 u |
|
| Total value |
12 u |
42 u |
54 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 4 child tickets = 4 x 3 u = 12 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 7 u
Price of 6 adult tickets = 6 x 7 u = 42 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 12 u + 42 u
= 54 u
54 u = 162
1 u = 162 ÷ 54 = 3
Price of a child ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 3
= $9
Answer(s): $9
