Question

A family goes to a theme park. The two grandparents pay 1/3

of the full entrance price. The two parents pay full price and the three children pay half price. A full price tickst costs £5.70. How much was the total cost of admission for the family?​

Answer 1

1/3 x 5.70 = £1.90 (what a grandparent payed)

£1.90 x 2 = £3.80 (the cost for both grandparents)

5.70/2 = £2.85 (what one child payed)

2.85 x 3 = £8.55 (the cost for all three children)

5.70 x 2 = £11.40 (the cost for both parents)

Add them all up

3.80 + 8.55 + 11.40

= £23.75 for the whole family

Answer 2

grandparents ticket each: £1.90 x 2 = £3.80
parents ticket each: £5.70 x 2 = £11.40
children ticket each: £2.85 x 3 = £8.55
total: £23.75
