Question

Or

Patrick and his friends are heading to Zapper's Laser Tag. They plan to purchase the Zapper's group package, which will be $120 for 10 people. That's $5 less per person than the normal cost for a single player.
Which equation can you use to find the normal cost, s, for a single player?

Answer 1

So, the normal cost, s, for a single player is $12.50.

Explanation:

To find the normal cost, s, for a single player, we can use the following equation:

s = (120 + 5) / 10

Let's break down this equation:

1. The group package cost is $120 for 10 people.

2. The group package cost is $5 less per person than the normal cost for a single player.

3. To find the normal cost, s, we add $5 to the group package cost and divide it by the number of people in the group (10).

By solving this equation, we can determine the normal cost for a single player.

Let's calculate:

s = (120 + 5) / 10

s = 125 / 10

s = $12.50

So, the normal cost, s, for a single player is $12.50.

Answer 2

$17

Explanation:

Cost of the ticket for a laser game for a group of people is given. We have to find the ticket cost for a single player by dividing 120 by 10.

Cost of group package = $120

The group contains 10 people.

Cost for 1 single player through package = 120 ÷ 10

= $12

Let the normal cost be 's'. This $12 is $5 less than the normal cost 's'.

The difference between the normal cost and the cost for a single player through package is $ 5.

s - 12 = 5

s = 5 + 12

s = $17

Answer: s = $ 17
