Answer:

ok so lets find the difference on the table

from 5 to 8 is goes up 250.5(668-417.5)

so that means 3 tickets goes 250.5 so lets divide by 3

250.5 divide by 3=83.5 per ticket

83.5*6=501

501

Hope This Helps!!!

Answer:

Equation : $83.50x = Cost of the tickets

(where x = number of tickets)

Cost of 6 tickets : $501

Explanation:

I'm not sure if this is the way they want you to do it, but what I did is :

1) Solve a proportion to figure out the cost of 1 ticket

5/417.50 = 1/x

5x = 417.50(1)

5x/5 = 417.50/5

x = 83.50

So, the cost of 1 ticket is $83.50

2) Create an equation

If x equals the number of tickets :

83.50x = Cost of the tickets

3) Solve for 6 tickets

83.50(6) = Cost of the tickets

501 = Cost of the tickets

Substitute x for the number of tickets, which is 6 and you'll get $501 :)
