look below i tried many times but I can't seem to figure out...
4 adults 5 children = £136
3 adults 2 children = £81
136 - 81 =105
A: 105/ 4=26
B:105/5=21
A:26/3=8.666~£8.67 per adult
B:26/2= £13 price per child

Wrong thread I think
A theatre has an adult price and a children price for their shows.
A group of 4 adults and 5 children paid a total of £136.
A group of 3 adults and 2 children paid a total of £81.
Work out the price for one adult and the price for one child.
This is a question for the topic simultaneous equations
HINT
A group of 4 adults and 5 children paid a total of £136. make children the same. double 8 adults and 10 children cost ...
A group of 3 adults and 2 children paid a total of £81. multiply by 5 15 adults and 10 children cost
You can then get the cost of 15 - 8 adults

Wrong. First you need to calculate 65 percent of 60. Then 70 percent of 40. Read the question carefully. It’s easier than you think don’t over complicate it

Hints are already above, but 65% is the same as multiplying by 65/100, or 0.65.
