9 (make sure to place the currency symbol (e.g. £ or $) beside your answer, otherwise it may be counted as incorrect).

Explanation:

• If one adult went and the adult tickets cost 14, we can subtract 14 from 59 to see the total cost of the children's five tickets:

59 - 14 = 45

• Because there are 5 children, you then divide that value by 5 in order to find out the cost for one child and, ultimately, the cost of each child's ticket: 45 ÷ 5 = 9
• The cost of each child's ticket is therefore 9
