Unit rate means one. So the best way to solve this is using a proportion over one. If there are 258 pencils in 3 purses 258/3 then how many are in one purses x/1. Cross multiply next.
258/3 * x/1. You get 3x and 258. To get the x alone, divide both sides by three. Your answer is 86 pencils in one purse.
Sorry could you elaborate a bit further on the question

Adult ticket (a) = $5
Child ticket (c) = $2
785 tickets = $3280
a + c = 785 tickets
5a + 2c = $3280
c = 215 child tickets
a = 570 adult tickets
570 + 215 = 785 tickets
5(570) + 2(215) = $3280
There were 215 child tickets sold on Saturday
