10 u |
16 u |
26 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 5 u
Price of 2 child tickets = 2 x 5 u = 10 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 8 u
Price of 2 adult tickets = 2 x 8 u = 16 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 10 u + 16 u
= 26 u
26 u = 52
1 u = 52 ÷ 26 = 2
Price of an adult ticket
= 8 u
= 8 x 2
= $16
Answer(s): $16
