Question

the chorus club has a budget of at most 450 for a field trip to see a musical. there are 15 members in the house club. the total transportation cost for all the members will be 60. what is the maximum theater ticket price per person that the chorus club can afford?

Answer 1

transportation+ticket=budget
trasportation=60
budget=450

60+tickets=450
minus 60 both sides
tickets=390
they are 15 people
15 times cost per ticket=390
divide both sides by 15
cost per ticket=26


can be at max $26 per ticket

Answer 2

450 - 60 = 390

390 ÷ 15 = 26.

26 is the answer.
