Final answer:

To find the price of one prom ticket without the coupon, subtract the value of the coupon from the total cost and then divide by the number of tickets. In this case, the price of one ticket without the coupon is $40.375.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of one prom ticket without the coupon, we need to subtract the amount of the coupon from the total cost and then divide by the number of tickets. In this case, the coupon value is $13 and the total cost is $336, and there are 8 tickets. So, the equation would be:

Total cost - Coupon value = Cost without coupon

$336 - $13 = Cost without coupon

$323 = Cost without coupon

Finally, we need to divide the cost without coupon by the number of tickets to find the price of one ticket:

Cost without coupon / Number of tickets = Price of one ticket

$323 / 8 = Price of one ticket

$40.375 = Price of one ticket
