| Number |
5 |
2 |

| Value |
3 u |
4 u |
|
| Total value |
15 u |
8 u |
23 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 5 child tickets = 5 x 3 u = 15 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 4 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 4 u = 8 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 15 u + 8 u
= 23 u
23 u = 46
1 u = 46 ÷ 23 = 2
Price of a child ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 2
= $6
Answer(s): $6
