✔ 最佳答案
Let the fare of an adult be $a
Thus, the fare of a child is $ 0.5a

There are 3 adults and 3 children
Thus, 2 * a + 3 * 0.5a = 21
3.5a = 21
a = 21 / 3.5 = 6 ($) (ans.)

ans. The fare of an adult is $6.

Each child would have to pay $21/3=$7 per ride.
Therefore, an adult has to pay $14 per ride.
