Question

The regular price of a child's entry ticket to a water park is $8 less than that for an adult's. The park offers half off all entry tickets during the off-peak season. The Sandlers paid a total of $194 for 1 adult ticket and 4 child's tickets to the water park during the off-peak season. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the regular price of an adult ticket:

194 = one half x + 2(x − 8)

What is the regular price of a child's ticket?

Answer 1

If we solve the given equation it will give us the regular price of the adult ticket.
