6 children and 2 adults are going to the circus. Children tickets are on sale,half price of adult tickets totaling $54. How much is the price of one children's ticket and one adult ticket?

Answer 1

Price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8 and Price of 1 children ticket is $5.4.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of adults = 2

Number of Children = 6

Total Amount of tickets sold = $54.

We need to find the price of one children's ticket and one adult ticket.

Solution:

Let the Cost of 1 adult ticket be 'x'.

Now Given:

Children tickets are on sale,half price of adult tickets.

Cost of 1 Children ticket =
`(1)/(2)x`

Total Amount is equal to Number of adults multiplied by Cost of adult ticket plus Number of Children multiplied by Cost of Children ticket.

Framing in equation for we get;

`2x+(1)/(2)x* 6=54\\\\2x+3x=54\\\\5x=54\\\\x=(54)/(5) = \$10.8`

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $10.8

Cost of 1 children ticket =
`(x)/(2)=(10.8)/(2) = \$5.4`

Hence Price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8 and Price of 1 children ticket is $5.4.
