Question

Discount tickets to a basketball tournament sell for $4.00 each. Enrico spent $60.00 on discount tickets, $37.50 less than if he had bought the tickets at the regular price. what was the regular ticket price?

Answer 1

The answer would be $6.50.
60 divided by 4 is 15
60 plus 37.5 is 97.5
97.5 divided by 15 is 6.5
So each ticket would be $6.50 at regular price

Answer 2

full price is 60+37.50=97.50$ is x% price
60% is 100%
so x=97.50*100/60=162.5%

th real cost of tickets would be
4*1.62=6.48$
Answer: the regular price was 6.48$ per tichet
