• Adult cost = $3 ,
  reason :
  given C = A / 2 and 5A +8C = 27
  => 5A + 4A = 27
  => 9A = 27
  => A = 3

• A-X
  C-X/2
  5(X)+8(X/2)=27
  9X=27
  X=3

• 1 child ticket =( 1 adult ticket) /2
  Therefore,
  Cost of 8 children tickets = cost of 4 adult tickets
  Total cost =$27
  Hence, 5 Adult tickets + 8 children tickets = $27
  5 adult tickets + 4 adult tickets = $27
  9 adult tickets =$27
  1 Adult ticket =$3
