Answer:

$17.5

Explanation:

For this problem, you go through division.

Because the tickets cost the same amount, the total must be split equally between each one.

$105/6

If you are not allowed to use a calculator, then use long division.

6 goes into 105 a max of 17 times. (6*17 = 102)

_102__

6 | 105

102

105 - 102 = 3

Check again. 6 does not go into three at all, so bring a point zero(.0) onto the 3 for visual clarity. It does not change the number itself.

_102._

6 | 105.0

102.0

3.0

6 will go into 30, 5 times. 6*5 = 30

_102.5

6 | 105.0

102.0

3.0

3 0
