Final answer:
To find the equation for the total cost, add the cost of the tickets and the insurance. The price of one ticket is $173.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation for the total cost, we need to consider the cost of the airline tickets and the cost of the travel insurance. Let x represent the price of one ticket.
The cost of the airline tickets for 6 tickets would be 6x.
The cost of the travel insurance for 6 tickets would be $17 * 6 = $102.
The total cost is the sum of the cost of the tickets and the cost of the insurance, which is 6x + 102.
We are also given that the total cost is $1,140. So we can write the equation:
6x + 102 = 1140
To find the price of one ticket, we can solve this equation for x:
6x = 1140 - 102
6x = 1038
x = 1038/6
x = 173
Therefore, the price of one ticket is $173.
