4 u |
5 u |

| Total value |
20 u |
25 u |
45 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 4 u
Price of 5 child tickets = 5 x 4 u = 20 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 5 u
Price of 5 adult tickets = 5 x 5 u = 25 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 20 u + 25 u
= 45 u
45 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 45 = 2
Price of a child ticket
= 4 u
= 4 x 2
= $8
Answer(s): $8
