| Value |
2 u |
3 u |
|
| Total value |
4 u |
18 u |
22 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 2 u
Price of 2 child tickets = 2 x 2 u = 4 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 3 u
Price of 6 adult tickets = 6 x 3 u = 18 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 4 u + 18 u
= 22 u
22 u = 176
1 u = 176 ÷ 22 = 8
Price of an adult ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 8
= $24
Answer(s): $24
