Question

A family of 4 spent 104 for tickets To a concert all of the tickets were the same price what was the cost of each ticket?

Answer 1

Divide 104 by 4 because each of the tickets cost the same price. Each ticket cost $26.

Answer 2

`x=26`

Explanation:

Let:

`x=Cost\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}each\hspace{3}ticket\\T=Total\hspace{3}cost\\n=Number\hspace{3}of\hspace{3} tickets`

The total cost will be the individual cost of each ticket multiplied by the number of tickets. Mathematically would be:

`T=n*x`

Since we know the number of tickets and we know the total cost, we just need to replace the data into the equation and solve for x:

`104=4*x\\\\x=(104)/(4) =26`
