Question

Sam took his family to the zoo. An adult’s ticket is two times

the cost of a child’s ticket. The total cost for two adults’ tickets and
three children’s tickets was $28. How much do the tickets cost?

Answer 1

cost of child ticket = x
cost of adult ticket = 2x
2(2x) + 3(x) = 28
4x + 3x = 28
7x = 28
x = 28/7
x = 4
Child ticket cost 4
Adult ticket cost 8
