| Value |
5 u |
6 u |
|
| Total value |
15 u |
36 u |
51 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 5 u
Price of 3 child tickets = 3 x 5 u = 15 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 6 u
Price of 6 adult tickets = 6 x 6 u = 36 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 15 u + 36 u
= 51 u
51 u = 153
1 u = 153 ÷ 51 = 3
Price of an adult ticket
= 6 u
= 6 x 3
= $18
Answer(s): $18
