30 u |
30 u |
60 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 5 u
Price of 6 child tickets = 6 x 5 u = 30 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 6 u
Price of 5 adult tickets = 5 x 6 u = 30 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 30 u + 30 u
= 60 u
60 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 60 = 2
Price of a child ticket
= 5 u
= 5 x 2
= $10
Answer(s): $10
