Answer:
£ 45.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of adults ⇒ 12
Number of children ⇒ 26
Total cost of tickets ⇒ £ 1804.80
Cost of an adult's ticket ⇒ £ 51.60
Cost of a ticket for child ⇒ ?
Let the cost of a ticket for child be x.
Therefore,
Total cost = cost of tickets for adults + cost of tickets for children
Total cost = (No. children × Cost of a ticket) + (No.adults × Cost of a ticket)
£ 1804.80 = 26x + 12 × £51.60
1804.80 = 26x + 619.2
1804.80 - 619.2 = 26x
1185.6 = 26x
Divide both sides by 26.
45.6 = x
So,
Cost of a ticket for child is £45.6
