Question

A family of 5 bought airline tickets. In addition to their ticket,each person had to pay $39 to check their bag. They spent a total of $1640.

Find the price of each airline ticket

Answer 1

289

Explanation:

5 people pay 39 each for their bag, so, 5*39 is 195

now you have to subtract the cost of the baggage(195) from 1640 to be able to get the total cost of tickets- 1640-195 is 1445

the last thing you do is divide the total cost of tickets by the number of people- 1445/5 is 289
