Answer:

cost of one ticket before the fees = $25.01

Explanation:

parking fee = $18

hockey fan spent for 7 tickets = $203.59 - $18 = $185.59

7 tickets cost $185.59

per ticket fee = $1.50

fee for 7 tickets = $1.50 * 7 = $10.5

hockey fan spent for 7 tickets = $185.59 - $10.5 = $175.09

7 tickets cost before the fees = $175.09

1 ticket costs before the fees = 175.09/7 = $25.01

Answer:

To find the cost of one ticket before the fees, we need to first subtract the parking fee from the total amount spent and then divide by the number of tickets.

Total cost = Cost of tickets + Parking fee

$203.59 = Cost of 7 tickets + $18

Now, let's find the cost of 7 tickets:

Cost of 7 tickets = $203.59 - $18 = $185.59

Now, we'll find the cost of one ticket:

Cost of one ticket = Cost of 7 tickets / 7

Cost of one ticket = $185.59 / 7 ≈ $26.51

So, the cost of one ticket before the fees is approximately $26.51.
