Question

Angie and her friends are heading to the Glacier Heights snow park. They plan to purchase the Glacier group package, which costs $76 for 8 people. That's $2 less per person than the normal cost for an individual. What is the normal cost for an individual?

Answer 1

The normal cost would be $11.50

Number Explanation

1) 76 ÷ 8 = 9.5

2) 9.5 + 2 = 11.5 or 11.50

Word Explanation

First, I divided the total cost 76 by the number of people 8, to find out how much it costs per person. I got 9.5! Next, I added 2 to 9.5 because in the problem it said this is $2 less than the normal cost per person. I got 11.5! That was my answer.
