Question

Ms. Boo spent a total of $175.00 for 4 admission tickets and for parking at a baseball game. The cost of each admission ticket was the same amount, including tax. The cost of parking was $25.00. Write an equation that can be used to determine t, the cost, in dollars, of each admission ticket, including tax. What is the equation and solve it.

Answer 1

Each ticket costs $37.50

Explanation:

An equation you can use to solve for the price of each ticket is this:

(Let x = the price of each ticket)

• (175 - 25) ÷ 4 = x

Solving what is in the parenthesis:

• (175 - 25) ÷ 4 = x

• 150 ÷ 4 = x
• 37.5 = x

Therefore, the price of each ticket is $37.50
