Question

Jim had 3,067.49 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

122225 because u have to subtract those two numbers

Answer 2

You can set it up like this (assuming that each plane ticket costs the same):

`3067.49-2x=1845.24`

Then, solve for x:

`-2x=-1213.25`

Simplify:

`x = 606.625`

Each ticket cost him $606.625.
