Question

Q1: Tyson is taking his basketball team to watch a college basketball game. He bought 8 tickets for $168 $ 168 . One parent bought her son's ticket separately and paid $24 $ 24 . ​Who had the better deal?

Answer 1

Tyson had the better deal

Explanation:

We simply want to know who paid less for the ticket.

Tyson bought 8 tickets for the members of his basketball team and it cost it $168 in total.

The cost of each ticket is therefore:

168 / 8 = $21

He paid $21 for each ticket.

The parent bought her son's ticket for $24.

Therefore, Tyson had the better deal because he paid $3 less than the woman.
