Question

The youth group is going on a trip to the state fair. The trip costs $63. Include in that price is $13 for a concert ticket and the cost of 2 passes, one for the rides and one for the game booths. Each of the passes costs the same price. Write an equation represents the cost of the trip, and determine the price of one pass. Solve your equation by showing your work and steps.​

Answer 1

Answer: 13 + 2x = 63 and the cost of one ticket is $25 (x=25)

Explanation:

Build the equation from what it tells you.

The entire trip costs $63

The concert ticket that is included costs $13

Two passes cost the same amount, use x for what you don't know, 2x.

So, 13 + 2x = 63.

Find x = cost one pass.

13 + 2x = 63

-13. -13

2x= 50

2x/2= 50/2

x= 25
