To find the cost of a child ticket, we first need to calculate what 6/10 of the price of an adult ticket is.
The price of an adult ticket is $42.50.
Now, we can calculate the price of a child ticket:
\[
\text{Cost of Child Ticket} = \frac{6}{10} \times \text{Cost of Adult Ticket}
\]
Substituting the value of the adult ticket:
\[
\text{Cost of Child Ticket} = \frac{6}{10} \times 42.50
\]
Calculating that:
\[
\text{Cost of Child Ticket} = 0.6 \times 42.50
\]
Now performing the multiplication:
\[
0.6 \times 42.50 = 25.50
\]
Thus, the cost of a child ticket is \(\boxed{25.50}\).
The price of an adult ticket is $42.50.
Now, we can calculate the price of a child ticket:
