Joe buys 6 adult tickets and 4 child tickets for the movies. Each adult ticket cost $9. Each child ticket cost the same amount. Joe pays with a $100 bill and gets $22 in change. How much does each child ticket cost?

Each child ticket cost = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe has = $100

His balance after tickets purchase = $22

Actual amount spent on tickets = $100 - $22 = $78

But,

Each adult ticket cost = $9

Total no of adult = 6

Total amount spent (adults) = $9 x 6 = $54

Balance remaining = $78 - $54 = $24

Amount spent of 4 child tickets = $24

No of children = 4

Therefore,

Amount spent on 1 child (1 ticket),

= $24/4 = $6.

It could be seen that each child ticket cost six dollars.
