C) $29.00 per ticket
D) $26.50 per ticket

Answer 1

The unit rate for purchasing tickets, when given a total cost of $420 for 15 tickets, is calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of tickets, resulting in $28.00 per ticket.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit rate for purchasing tickets, we divide the total cost by the number of tickets. In this case, we have $420 for 15 tickets. Calculating the unit rate, we get:

Unit rate = Total cost / Number of tickets

= $420 / 15 tickets

= $28 per ticket

Therefore, the unit rate is $28.00 per ticket, which corresponds to option A.
