Answer:

£11

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets find the number of children's = 3/8 * 1120 =420 children's

then find number of adults = 1120 -420 = 700 adults

if adult costs, £28

28 * 700 = £19600

lets subtract the total cost - total adult ticket cost

=   £24,220 -  £19600

= £4620......this is the total children's ticket cost

there are 420 children ---> £4620

1 children --> £4620/420 = £11
