Answer

Each ticket costs $6.25

Step-by-step explanation

Total amount spent = (Money spent on tickets) + (Money spent on snacks)

Total money spent = $60.00

Money spent on tickets = ?

Money spent on snacks = $28.75

Total amount spent = (Money spent on tickets) + (Money spent on snacks)

60 = (Money spent on tickets) + 28.75

Money spent on tickets = 60 - 28.75

Money spent on tickets = 31.25

5 tickets were bought with the $31.25

Each ticket will cost (31.25/5) = $6.25

Hope this Helps!!!
