Question

You and 3 friends are going to the country 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 price ticket to the fair cost?

Answer 1

30$

Explanation:

lets assume you didn't have a coupon then the total bill would have been 120$

so for 4 friends including u the bill would have been 120$

: 4 friends = 120 $

for : 1 friend = x$

cross multiply

4x = 120 × 1

4x =120

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

x =120 \ 4

x = 30$

therefore: 1 friend = 30$
