Answer:
The cost per adult is $16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total number of children = 20+22 = 42 children
Total number of adults = 2 + 5 = 7 adults
Total cost for both groups = $490
Cost per child = $9.00
Cost of children ticket = 9.00*42 = $378
Cost of adult tickets = 490-378 = $112
This is the cost for 7 adult tickets.
Cost per ticket = [tex]\frac{112}{7}[/tex] = $16
Hence,
The cost per adult is $16.
