Total |
| Number |
8 |
2 |
|
| Value |
3 u |
4 u |
|
| Total value |
24 u |
8 u |
32 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 8 child tickets = 8 x 3 u = 24 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 4 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 4 u = 8 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 24 u + 8 u
= 32 u
32 u = 192
1 u = 192 ÷ 32 = 6
Price of a child ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 6
= $18
Answer(s): $18
