Question

Jim had 3,067.48 in his checking account.He wrote a check to pay for two airplane tickets. His account now has 1,845.24. How much did each ticket cost

Answer 1

Each ticket is 244.648 because you subtract the money you had in the account from how much you had left. Then you multiply 1,223.24 by 2 because it says that Jim bought 2 tickets and that should get you 244.648.

Answer 2

Cost of one ticket=611.12

Explanation:

In this question we have given

Amount in account= 3067.48

After purchesing 2 airplane tickets, amount in Jim's account=1845.24

Therefore,

Cost of two tickets=
`3067.48-1845.24`

Cost of two tickets=1222.24

Therefore,

Cost of one ticket=
`(1222.24)/(2)`

Cost of one ticket=611.12
