3 u |
8 u |

| Total value |
9 u |
24 u |
33 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 3 child tickets = 3 x 3 u = 9 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 8 u
Price of 3 adult tickets = 3 x 8 u = 24 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 9 u + 24 u
= 33 u
33 u = 198
1 u = 198 ÷ 33 = 6
Price of a child ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 6
= $18
Answer(s): $18
