Answer 2

Regular price of the ticket is $80 .

Explanation:

As given

Heather and her family are going to the grand opening of a new amusement park.

There is a special price on tickets this weekend.

Tickets cost $56 each.

This is 70% of the cost of a regular price ticket.

70% is written in the decimal form

`= (70)/(100)`

= 0.70

Let us assume that the cost of the regular ticket be x .

Than the equation becomes

0.70 × x = 56

0.70x = 56

`x = (56)/(0.70)`

`x = (5600)/(70)`

x = 80

Therefore the regular price of the ticket is $80 .
