Question

One day of the reunion the whole family went to a nearby museum. Since we were a large group, we got a discounted rate and each ticket was $3 less than the normal ticket price. We had to pay $12 for each ticket. What is the normal ticket price?

Write a paragraph explaining what strategy or strategies could be used to solve this problem. Be sure to include a way in which a variable equation could be implemented:

Answer 1

The normal ticket price is : $15

Answer 2

It’s quite simple to get the answer to this question. So, we know that x - 3 = 12, all we have to do is add 3 to 12 to get the answer. 3 + 12 = 15, therefore the normal ticket price is 15$.

Hope this helps!
