2 u |
5 u |

| Total value |
6 u |
20 u |
26 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 2 u
Price of 3 child tickets = 3 x 2 u = 6 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 5 u
Price of 4 adult tickets = 4 x 5 u = 20 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 6 u + 20 u
= 26 u
26 u = 104
1 u = 104 ÷ 26 = 4
Price of a child ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 4
= $8
Answer(s): $8
