A trip to the museum costs $44 per person. This price includes a $7 planetarium ticket and the entrance fees for both the art and science museums. The cost of the entrance fees for each museum are equal. How much did entry to each museum cost?

it should be $18.50 (eighteen dollars and fifty cents)

44-7 = 37
37/2 = 18.50

Answer:

$18.5

Explanation:

44-7=37 (we don't need the price of the planetarium ticket, so subtract 7)

37÷2=18.5 (since the entree fees are equal, divide 37 by 2)

However, I might be wrong.
