Question

You and 3 friends are going to the fair. You have a coupon that will save your group $20. If the total bill to get into the fair was $100, how much does one regular priced ticket to the fair cost?

Equation:

Answer:

Answer 1

$30

Explanation:

Since you pay 100 after discount, you add the 20 dollar discount to the 100 ($120)

Then since there are 4 of you in total, (you+ 3 friends), you divide by 4.

And Voila, your answer is $30 per person.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

one regular ticket costs $30

Explanation:

The total number of people = 4

Without the $20 coupon, the total cost would have been =100+20 = $120

Assume the price of one regular ticket is x;

4x = 120

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x

x = 120/4

x = 30

Therefore, one regular ticket costs $30
