Question

Jackie went on a trip to New York City and spent a total of $200 going to the theater. She purchased 4 student tickets for Broadway plays that cost $25 each and 5 discount tickets. How much did each discount ticket cost?

Answer 1

Answer: The cost of each discount ticket = $20

Explanation:

Given: Total money Jackie spent in all = $ 200

The cost of student tickets = $25

Therefore, the cost of 4 student tickets =
`4*\$25=\$100`

Now, the cost of 5 discount tickets =
`\$200-\$100=\$100`

Thus, the cost of 5 discount tickets= $100

Now, the cost of each discount ticket =
`(100)/(5)=\$20`
