6 |

| Value |
2 u |
3 u |
|
| Total value |
8 u |
18 u |
26 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 2 u
Price of 4 child tickets = 4 x 2 u = 8 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 3 u
Price of 6 adult tickets = 6 x 3 u = 18 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 8 u + 18 u
= 26 u
26 u = 182
1 u = 182 ÷ 26 = 7
Price of an adult ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 7
= $21
Answer(s): $21
