3 + 8.50x = 45.50

The number of number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50 is 5 ticketa

Explanation:

Let the number of tickets be represented by x

Tickets are $8.50 plus he must play Fangalingo a $3 transaction fee for purchasing the tickets online.

The equation that represents the number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50

$3 + $8.50 × x = $45.50

3 + 8.50x = 45.50

Solving further for x

3 + 8.50x = 45.50

8.50x = 45.50 - 3

8.50x = 42.50

x = 42.50/8.50

x = 5

Hence, the number of number of tickets that Josiah can buy with $45.50 is 5 ticketa
