Question

A family buys 6 airline tickets online. The family also buys travel insurance that costs $19 per ticket. The total cost is $1,116. Let x represent the price of one ticket. Write an equation for the total cost. Then find the price of one ticket.

Answer 1

1st answer : 1116 - (6x19) /6


If the family buys 6 tickets and the travel insurance is $19 per ticket:
6 x $19 = $114
Take away the total cost from the insurance
$1,116 - $114 =$1,002
6 tickets cost $1,002
Divide $1,002 by 6
$1,002 / 6 = $167


2nd ANSWER::: each ticket costs $167
