Let C be the cost of a child's ticket. Then the cost of an adult's ticket is 2C.
Two Adults and Three Children cost 28.
(2)(2C) + 3(C) = 28
7C = 28
C = 4
So the cost of a child's ticket is four bucks, and an adult pays eight.

Answer is A.
2 adults @ $8.00 each (2X8=16) $16.00
3 children @$4.00 each (3x4=12) $12.00
$16.00 plus $ $12.00 = $28.00
