Question

A group of 12 adults and 26 children go to a theme park.

The total cost of tickets is £1804.80.
An adult's ticket costs £51.60
Find the cost of a ticket for a child.

Answer 1

I don't have the Pound Sterling sign on my keyboard but the answer is $45.60

Explanation:

Since each adult ticket costs $51.60 and there are 12 adults

The total cost of adult tickets = $51.60*12=$619.20

Then take the total cost of tickets and subtract $619.20 from it

$1804.80-619.20=$1185.60 that's the total cost of children's tickets

Since there are 26 children you have to divide that answer by 26 to get it

$1185.60/26=$45.60
