The cost of an adult ticket is £6 more than that of a child ticket, so will be denoted by c+6. Now, we are told that the cost of four child tickets and two adult tickets is £40.50, so we can put this in an equation and solve for c: (c+6)+(c+6)+c+c+c+c=40.50 6c+12=40.50 6c=28.50 c=4.75 Therefore the cost of a child's ticket (c) is £4.75 and the cost of an adult ticket (c+6) is £10.75.
