12 u |
14 u |
26 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 4 u
Price of 3 child tickets = 3 x 4 u = 12 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 7 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 7 u = 14 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 12 u + 14 u
= 26 u
26 u = 104
1 u = 104 ÷ 26 = 4
Price of a child ticket
= 4 u
= 4 x 4
= $16
Answer(s): $16
