Question

6 friends paid for a parking ticket each. Each ticket had a surcharge extra of $11 per ticket. The total they paid for their parking was $186. What was the price of each ticket without the surcharge?

Answer 1

$20

Explanation:

Money paid with surcharge by 6 friends = $ 186

Money paid with surcharge by a friend = 186 ÷ 6 = $ 31

Money paid by each friend without surcharge = 31 - 11 = $ 20
