Question

You purchase 5 tickets to a football game from an Internet

ticket agency. In addition to the cost per ticket, the agency charges
a convenience charge of $2.50 per ticket. You choose to pay for rush
delivery, which costs $15. The total cost of your order is $352.50. What is
the price per ticket not including the convenience charge?

Answer 1

The price per ticket, excluding the convenience charge, is of $65.

Explanation:

You choose to pay for rush delivery, which costs $15. The total cost of your order is $352.50.

So, only for the 5 tickets, you pay 352.50 - 15 = $337.50.

In addition to the cost per ticket, the agency charges a convenience charge of $2.50 per ticket.

Excluding the convenience charge per ticket, you will pay:

337.50 - 5*2.50 = 325.

What is the price per ticket not including the convenience charge?

$325 for 5 tickets.

325/5 = 65

The price per ticket, excluding the convenience charge, is of $65.
