Note from the problem statement that A = 3C
From the problem statement, 36 = A + C = 3C + C = 4C
Then C = 9
(A = 3 x 9 = 27)

I see two possible answers :
1) If Bao is a child, then his ticket costs $9, and his father's ticket $27.
2) If Bao is an adult then a child ticket cost $6, and adult tickets cost $18.
1) If Bao is a child, then his ticket costs $9, and his father's ticket $27.
2) If Bao is an adult then a child ticket cost $6, and adult tickets cost $18.
