Answer: $24.50 is the price for each adult ticket.

Explanation:

1. First we find out the price of the childrens' tickets.

$18.50 x 3 = $55.50

2. Subtract kids tickets from total cost to get adults tickets.

104.50 - 55.50 = 49.00

3. $49 is the price for both adult tickets so we need to divide this by 2.

49/2= 24.50
