The price per ticket for the concert is $39. This includes the cost of the tickets, a processing fee of $2.25 per ticket, and an express delivery flat rate of $15, resulting in a total order cost of $180.

Let's denote the cost per ticket as x. You bought 4 tickets, so the total cost for the tickets without fees is 4x

The processing fee is $2.25 per ticket, and you bought 4 tickets, so the total processing fee is
\(4 * 2.25\).

You also chose express delivery, which is a flat rate of $15.

The total cost of your order is the sum of the cost for the tickets, processing fee, and express delivery fee:


\[ 4x + 4 * 2.25 + 15 = 180 \]

Now, solve for x:

4x + 9 + 15 = 180

Combine like terms:

4x + 24 = 180

Subtract 24 from both sides:

4x = 156

Divide by 4:

x = 39

So, the price per ticket is $39.

The probable question may be:

You buy 4 tickets to a concert from an online reseller. In addition to the cost per ticket, the reseller charges a processing fee of $2.25 per ticket. You also choose to pay for express delivery. which is a flat rate of $15. The total cost of your order is $180. What is the price per ticket?​
