| Number |

6 |
|
| Value |
3 u |
4 u |
|
| Total value |
18 u |
24 u |
42 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 6 child tickets = 6 x 3 u = 18 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 4 u
Price of 6 adult tickets = 6 x 4 u = 24 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 18 u + 24 u
= 42 u
42 u = 168
1 u = 168 ÷ 42 = 4
Price of a child ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 4
= $12
Answer(s): $12
