1 u |
2 u |

| Total value |
4 u |
6 u |
10 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 1 u
Price of 4 child tickets = 4 x 1 u = 4 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 2 u
Price of 3 adult tickets = 3 x 2 u = 6 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 4 u + 6 u
= 10 u
10 u = 160
1 u = 160 ÷ 10 = 16
Price of an adult ticket
= 2 u
= 2 x 16
= $32
Answer(s): $32
