Question

George and his dad are planning to attend the state fair. An adult tickets is $19.00. The price of an adult tickets is 1/3 the price of a student ticket plus $15.00. Write an equation to determine how much George will pay for a student ticket

Answer 1

$12

Explanation:

If x is the price that George pays for a student ticket, then:

19 = ⅓ x + 15

To solve for x, first subtract 15 from both sides:

19 - 15 = ⅓ x

4 = ⅓ x

Then multiply both sides by 3:

4 × 3 = x

12 = x

Answer 2

1/3x + 15 = 19

Explanation:

Well this is a simple equation where you write it out EXCACTLY like the question says, the 1/3 is the 1/3 the price of a student ticket and add the x to represent the unknown amount (student ticket), the 15 represents the plus $15.00 which equals 19

Hope this helps,
