3 u |
7 u |

| Total value |
12 u |
28 u |
40 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 4 child tickets = 4 x 3 u = 12 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 7 u
Price of 4 adult tickets = 4 x 7 u = 28 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 12 u + 28 u
= 40 u
40 u = 160
1 u = 160 ÷ 40 = 4
Price of an adult ticket
= 7 u
= 7 x 4
= $28
Answer(s): $28
