Question

A group of 12, 8th graders are planning a graduation trip to Knotts Berry Farm. If you pre-buy a ticket online, you get a $34 discount for each ticket. If the group paid a total of $660, how much does a ticket cost without the discount?

Answer 1

Answer: Each ticket costs $89.

Explanation:

Let be x = ticket cost without the discount.

Given: Total 8th graders = 12

Discount = $34

Price of ticket after discount = x- 34

Total amount paid = $660

Total amount paid = (Price of ticket after discount) x (Total 8th graders )

`\Rightarrow\ 660=(x-34)(12)`

Divide both sides by 12.

`\Rightarrow\ 55=x-34`

Add 34 both sides , we get

`\Rightarrow\ x= 55+34\Rightarrow\ x=89`

Hence, Each ticket costs $89.
