Question

Joe and two friends are going to a concert. The total cost is $186. If there is a $24 service fee, write and solve an equation to find out how much one ticket is.

Answer 1

Hello!

The equation is below.

3x=24=186

Now we subtract 24 from both sides.

3x=162

Now we divide both sides by 3.

x=54

One ticket costed $54.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

The cost of 1 ticket is $54.

Explanation:

Joe and two friends are going to a concert.

The total cost is = $186(total cost includes service fee).

The service fee is = $24

Service fee of $24 will be applies to the sum of three tickets.

So we have the cost of three tickets as =
`186-24=162` dollars

Now we will divide this $162 in 3 parts as there are 3 friends.

This value is =
`(162)/(3)=54` dollars

Hence, the cost of 1 ticket is $54.
