4 |

| Value |
3 u |
4 u |
|
| Total value |
9 u |
16 u |
25 u |
Price of 1 child ticket = 3 u
Price of 3 child tickets = 3 x 3 u = 9 u
Price of 1 adult ticket = 4 u
Price of 4 adult tickets = 4 x 4 u = 16 u
Total cost of the tickets
= 9 u + 16 u
= 25 u
25 u = 75
1 u = 75 ÷ 25 = 3
Price of a child ticket
= 3 u
= 3 x 3
= $9
Answer(s): $9
