Mr. Prince takes his wife and two children to

the circus. If the price of a child's ticket is 1/2

the price of an adult ticket and Mr. Prince pays

a total of $12.60, find the price of a child's

ticket.

Facts:

MR Price takes his wife + two children

The price of adult's ticket is 2 times higher that child's

They paid $12.6 in total

Answer:

X is the price of child's ticket so equation will look:

2x (fathers' ticket) + 2x (mother's ticket) + x (first child) + x (second child) = $12.6 (total price)

6x = 12.6

X = 2.1

Child's ticket costs $2.1
