Question

A family buys 6 airline tickets online. The family buys travel insurance that costs $18 per ticket. The total cost is 1,074. Let x represent the price of one ticket. Write an equation the total cost. Then find the price of one ticket.

Answer 1

equation for total cost is 1074= 6(x+18)

price of one ticket =$ 179

Explanation:

1074= 6(x+18)----------A

1074= 6x+ 108

1074-108=6x

966=6x

x=966/6= 161$---------B

For 1 ticket

putting the value from B in A

x+18=161+18 =$179
