Answer:

The cost per ticket is constant.

Explanation:

Given:

It costs $20 for 4 play tickets and $35 for 7 play tickets.

Now, to get whether cost per ticket is constant or not.

So, if the cost per ticket is constant that means the cost of ticket for a play or more is fixed, non-varying and it does not change.

Now, we check it:

4 play tickets costs = $20.

1 play tickets costs = $20 ÷ 4 = $5.

So, 7 play tickets costs = $5 × 7 = $35.

Thus, the cost of ticket for play is not changing and it is constant.

So the cost per ticket is constant.

Therefore, the cost per ticket is constant.
